Constructing EYM amplitudes by inverse soft limit

Abstract

It is well known that gravity amplitudes in four dimensions can be reconstructed by the inverse soft limit (ISL) method. According to ISL, a tree level $n$-graviton maximally-helicity-violating (MHV) amplitude is expressed in terms of deformed $(n-1)$-graviton amplitudes accompanied by soft graviton factors. On another hand, single- and double-trace tree-level Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) MHV amplitudes have been proven to satisfy spanning forest formulas, where each edge in a forest has the same form with a term in soft graviton factor. It is not transparent that the formulas satisfied by EYM amplitudes can be constructed with ISL. In this paper, we construct the single- and double-trace MHV amplitudes in EYM, by the ISL and show that the known formulas can be precisely reproduced. Interesting identities which are based on Schouten identity and characterized by graphs are also introduced.
