TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory, and proved that their $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loops $n$-point integrals.Abstract:
We present a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory. As an example, we obtain the one-loop contribution to amplitudes for $n$ gluon scattering in $N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the helicity configuration of the Parke-Taylor tree amplitudes. We prove that our $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loop $n$-point integrals. We also give the ``splitting amplitudes'' which govern the collinear behavior of one-loop helicity amplitudes in gauge theories.read more

A prescription for projectors to compute helicity amplitudes in D dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, a prescription to compute polarized dimensionally regularized amplitudes is discussed, providing a recipe for constructing simple and general polarized amplitude projectors in D dimensions that avoid conventional Lorentz tensor decomposition and avoid also dimensional splitting.

Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theories
TL;DR: In this article, the integrands of the multiple-cuts are generated from products of tree-level amplitudes within the super-amplitudes formalism, and the corresponding expressions are used for the analytic reconstruction of the polynomial residues.

Efficient calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes
Zvi Bern,David A. Kosower +1 more
TL;DR: The outline of a new and efficient technique for the calculation of loop amplitudes in a gauge theory based on the technology of four-dimensional heterotic strings is presented, which finds complete agreement with the previous Feynman-diagram calculation of Ellis and Sexton.
