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

Quantum dispersion relations for excitations of long folded spinning superstring in AdS5 × S5
TL;DR: In this article, the leading one-loop corrections to the dispersion relations of the excitations near a long spinning string in AdS were investigated and the results were in partial agreement with the recent asymptotic Bethe ansatz computation in arXiv:1010.5237.

Double copy structure of CFT correlators
TL;DR: In this paper, the flat space limit of momentum-space 3-point correlators is spanned by gauge and gravitational scattering amplitudes in one higher dimension which are related by a double copy.
Searching for Kerr in the 2PM amplitude
Top-quark physics at hadron colliders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the NNLO soft function for color-octet top-quark pair production from the theoretical description of the partonic cross-section close to the pair-production threshold and used it to compute the long-sought-for O(α4 s) corrections to the topquark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron.

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.
