Scattering forms and the positive geometry of kinematics, color and the worldsheet

N Arkani-Hamed, Y Bai, S He, G Yan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract The search for a theory of the S-Matrix over the past five decades has revealed
surprising geometric structures underlying scattering amplitudes ranging from the string …

Scattering equations and matrices: from Einstein to Yang-Mills, DBI and NLSM

F Cachazo, S He, EY Yuan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer

integral over the moduli space of punctured spheres localized to the solutions of the …

Scattering of massless particles: scalars, gluons and gravitons

F Cachazo, S He, EY Yuan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer

matrix of pure Yang-Mills and gravity theories in arbitrary spacetime dimension. In this paper …

Scattering equations and Kawai-Lewellen-Tye orthogonality

F Cachazo, S He, EY Yuan - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Several recent developments point to the fact that rational maps from n-punctured spheres to
the null cone of D-dimensional momentum space provide a natural language for describing …

Bootstrapping the String Kawai-Lewellen-Tye Kernel

ASK Chen, H Elvang, A Herderschee - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We show that double-copy maps for amplitudes in effective field theory are severely
constrained at four points by self-consistency and locality at six points. The resulting double …

Positive geometries and canonical forms

N Arkani-Hamed, Y Bai, T Lam - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Recent years have seen a surprising connection between the physics of scattering
amplitudes and a class of mathematical objects—the positive Grassmannian, positive loop …

Ambitwistor strings and the scattering equations

L Mason, D Skinner - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We show that string theories admit chiral infinite tension analogues in which only
the massless parts of the spectrum survive. Geometrically they describe holomorphic maps …

Color-kinematics duality for QCD amplitudes

H Johansson, A Ochirov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
