From Hidden Zeros to Exact Splittings and New Zeros

Yang Li, Laurentiu Rodina

Hidden zeros impose constraints on scattering amplitudes beyond their familiar factorization properties. We explore their structure in two related directions. We first promote hidd…

Cosmological Wavefunctions as Amplitudes: Dual Shuffle Factorization and Uniqueness from New Hidden Zeros

Yang Li, Laurentiu Rodina

We show that cosmological wavefunctions in theories naturally generalize flat-space scattering amplitudes: via a simple map from tube variables to Mandelst…

Geometric duality between effective field theories I: scattering amplitudes

Tomas Brauner, Yang Li, Diederik Roest +1

We propose a novel type of duality that connects a sequence of well-known theories with even-multiplicity scalar amplitudes: it relates the Yang-Mills theory coupled to a specific…

Diagrammatic Derivation of Hidden Zeros and Exact Factorisation of Pion Scattering Amplitudes

Yang Li, Tianzhi Wang, Tomáš Brauner +1

Pion scattering amplitudes were recently found to vanish on specific kinematic loci, and to factorise close to these loci into a product of two lower-point amplitudes of an extende…

Hidden Zeros in Exceptional Field Theories from Double Copy

Yang Li, Diederik Roest, Tonnis ter Veldhuis

It was recently discovered by Arkani-Hamed et al and Cao et al that the colour-ordered scattering amplitudes of Tr, the non-linear sigma model and Yang-Mills-scalar vanish a…
