A Dual Non-abelian Yang-Mills Amplitude in Four Dimensions

Abstract

We derive an explicit formula for the vertex amplitude of dual SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions on the lattice, and provide an efficient algorithm (of order j to the fourth power) for its computation. This opens the way for both numerical and analytic development of dual methods, previously limited to the case of three dimensions.
