Subleading Collinear Limits of Yang-Mills Amplitudes from Gravity

Jin Dong, Stephan Stieberger

We show that the subleading collinear sector of Yang-Mills (YM) amplitudes is controlled by ordinary Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) amplitudes and their higher-derivative corrections. T…

Subleading Collinear Limits of Yang--Mills Amplitudes from Recursions

Jin Dong, Stephan Stieberger

We study the subleading adjacent-collinear limit of tree-level color-ordered Yang--Mills amplitudes. In general dimensions, a Lorentz null rotation transports the polarizations of…

On differential operators for scalar-scaffolded gluons

Jin Dong, Yong-Xiang Su, Dongyu Yang

Recently, based on the curve-integral formulation for stringy Tr amplitudes, a combinatorial formulation for Yang-Mills amplitudes has been proposed which describes gluons usi…

On Positive Celestial Geometry: ABHY in the Sky

Jin Dong, Stephan Stieberger

Celestial amplitudes are multiple Mellin transforms w.r.t. conformal dimensions. For arbitrary multiplicity of massless states in sufficiently high space--time dimension we…

Superstring amplitudes meet surfaceology

Qu Cao, Jin Dong, Song He +1

We reformulate tree-level amplitudes in open superstring theory (type-I) in terms of stringy Tr amplitudes with various kinematical shifts in the "curve-integral" formulatio…

On one-loop amplitudes in gauge theories

Qu Cao, Jin Dong, Song He +1

We propose a new ``universal expansion" for one-loop amplitudes with arbitrary number of gluons in dimensions, which holds for general gauge theories with gluons/fermions/scala…

Surface Kinematics and "The" Yang-Mills Integrand

Nima Arkani-Hamed, Qu Cao, Jin Dong +2

It has been a long-standing challenge to define a canonical loop integrand for non-supersymmetric gluon scattering amplitudes in the planar limit. Naive integrands are inflicted wi…

On universal splittings of tree-level particle and string scattering amplitudes

Qu Cao, Jin Dong, Song He +2

In this paper, we study the newly discovered universal splitting behavior for tree-level scattering amplitudes of particles and strings~\cite{Cao:2024gln}: when a set of Mandelstam…

Pions from higher-dimensional gluons: general realizations and stringy models

Jin Dong, Xiang Li, Fan Zhu

In this paper we revisit the general phenomenon that scattering amplitudes of pions can be obtained from "dimensional reduction" of gluons in higher dimensions in a more general co…

A universal splitting of string and particle scattering amplitudes

Qu Cao, Jin Dong, Song He +1

We propose a new splitting behavior of tree-level string/particle amplitudes for scalars, gluons and gravitons. We identify certain subspaces in the space of Mandelstam variables,…

Scalar-Scaffolded Gluons and the Combinatorial Origins of Yang-Mills Theory

Nima Arkani-Hamed, Qu Cao, Jin Dong +2

We present a new formulation for Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes in any number of dimensions and at any loop order, based on the same combinatorial and binary-geometric ideas in k…

Hidden zeros for particle/string amplitudes and the unity of colored scalars, pions and gluons

Nima Arkani-Hamed, Qu Cao, Jin Dong +2

Recent years have seen the emergence of a new understanding of scattering amplitudes in the simplest theory of colored scalar particles - the Tr theory - based on combinator…

One-loop Bern-Carrasco-Johansson Numerators on Quadratic Propagators from the Worldsheet

Jin Dong, Yao-Qi Zhang, Yong Zhang

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 expan…

Covariant color-kinematics duality, Hopf algebras and permutohedra

Qu Cao, Jin Dong, Song He +1

Based on the covariant color-kinematics duality, we investigate combinatorial and algebraic structures underlying their Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) numerators of tree-level ampli…

New relations for tree-level form factors and scattering amplitudes

Jin Dong, Song He, Guanda Lin

We show that tree-level form factors with length-two operators in Yang-Mills-scalar (YMS) theory exhibit structures very similar to scattering amplitudes of gluons and scalars, whi…
