A connection between $\mathcal{R}$-invariants and Yang-Baxter $R$-operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory

Abstract

The BCFW recursion relation in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory is solved using Yang-Baxter $R$-operators in the NMHV sector. Explicit expressions for $\mathcal{R}$-invariants are obtained in terms of the chains of $R$-operators acting on an appropriate basic state.
