One-loop Bern-Carrasco-Johansson Numerators on Quadratic Propagators from the Worldsheet
arXiv:2312.01580 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.109.L101905
Abstract
We introduce a novel approach for deriving one-loop Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) numerators and reveal the worldsheet origin of the one-loop double copy. Our work shows that expanding Cachazo-He-Yuan half-integrands into generalized Parke-Taylor factors intrinsically generates BCJ numerators on quadratic propagators satisfying Jacobi identities. We validate our methodology by successfully reproducing one-loop BCJ numerators for Non-Linear Sigma Model as well as those of pure Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions with all-plus or single-minus helicities.
