Z Bern, JJ Carrasco, M Chiodaroli… - Journal of Physics A …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Advances in scattering amplitudes have exposed previously-hidden color-kinematics and
double-copy structures in theories ranging from gauge and gravity theories to effective field …

Snowmass white paper: the double copy and its applications

T Adamo, JJM Carrasco, M Carrillo-González… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The double copy is, in essence, a map between scattering amplitudes in a broad variety of
familiar field and string theories. In addition to the mathematically rich intrinsic structure, it …

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 …

Covariant color-kinematics duality

C Cheung, J Mangan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We show that color-kinematics duality is a manifest property of the equations of
motion governing currents and field strengths. For the nonlinear sigma model (NLSM), this …

Amplitudes, Hopf algebras and the colour-kinematics duality

A Brandhuber, GR Brown, G Chen, J Gowdy… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer

kinematics duality for scattering amplitudes in heavy-mass effective field theory (HEFT) and …

BCJ amplitude relations for Anti-de Sitter boundary correlators in embedding space

P Diwakar, A Herderschee, R Roiban… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We generalize the color/kinematics duality of flat-space scattering amplitudes to the
embedding space formulation of AdS boundary correlators. Kinematic numerators and …

Generalizations of the double-copy: the KLT bootstrap

HH Chi, H Elvang, A Herderschee, CRT Jones… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We formulate a new program to generalize the double-copy of tree amplitudes. The
approach exploits the link between the identity element of the “KLT algebra” and the KLT …

Gravitational shock waves and scattering amplitudes

A Cristofoli - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study gravitational shock waves using scattering amplitude techniques. After
first reviewing the derivation in General Relativity as an ultrarelativistic boost of a …

Scalar Bern-Carrasco-Johansson bootstrap

TV Brown, K Kampf, U Oktem, S Paranjape, J Trnka - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this paper, we study tree-level scattering amplitudes of scalar particles in the context of
effective field theories. We use tools similar to the soft bootstrap to build an ansatz for …

Composing effective prediction at five points

JJM Carrasco, L Rodina, S Zekioğlu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Color-kinematics duality in the adjoint has proven key to the relationship between
gauge and gravity theory scattering amplitude predictions. In recent work, we demonstrated …
