Nonperturbative double copy: worldline instantons, color thermality, and backreaction

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Yaxi Chen, Nicolas H. Pavao +1

We present a first-principles, non-perturbative worldline instanton analysis of vacuum decay in the non-abelian Yang-Mills root of a Schwarzschild background. We recover the gauge…

Entire Four-Graviton EFT from the Duality Between Color and Kinematics

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Sai Sasank Chava, Alex Edison +2

The Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) double-copy construction reveals a fundamental structural connection between gauge and gravity theories. At its core, the BCJ double copy is direc…

-Dimensional Modular Assembly of Higher-Derivative Four-Point Contact Amplitudes Involving Fermions

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Sai Sasank Chava, Alex Edison +1

We present a novel robust framework for systematically constructing -dimensional four-point higher-derivative contact amplitudes. Our modular block ("LEGO"-like) approach builds…

The Double-Copy Root of Hawking Thermality

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Yaxi Chen

The Hawking radiation spectrum from a collapsing null shell can be derived via the double copy of a simpler gauge theory calculation. Analyzing the non-abelian Yang-Mills root of t…

The double copy effective action: a quantum (chromodynamics) approach to space-time

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Suna Zekioglu

Conventional Lagrangian formulations of gauge and gravity theories emphasize compactness and off-shell symmetry. This often obscures the structure of on-shell physical observables.…

An exercise in Color-Dual Cut Tiling: Supergravity from Positivity

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Alex Edison, Nia Robles Del Pino +1

The BCJ duality between color and kinematics brings two advantages to calculating multi-loop scattering amplitudes. First the number of ordered cuts that need to be performed to fi…

UV Massive Resonance from IR Double Copy Consistency

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Nicolas H. Pavao

From the perspective of effective field theory (EFT), Wilson coefficients of the low energy theory are determined by integrating out modes of the full ultraviolet (UV) theory. The…
