From AdS correlators to Carrollian amplitudes with the scattering equation

Tim Adamo, Iustin Surubaru, Bin Zhu

The scattering equations relate massless scattering kinematics to marked points on a Riemann sphere, and underpin remarkable formulae for the full tree-level S-matrices of many int…

Graviton scattering on self-dual black holes

Tim Adamo, Giuseppe Bogna, Lionel Mason +1

The computation of gravitational wave scattering on black hole spacetimes is an extremely hard problem, typically requiring approximation schemes that either treat the black hole p…

Twistorial chiral algebras in higher dimensions

Tim Adamo, Iustin Surubaru

In four spacetime dimensions, the classically integrable self-dual sectors of gauge theory and gravity have associated chiral algebras, which emerge naturally from their descriptio…

The KLT kernel in twistor space

Tim Adamo, Sonja Klisch

The double copy relationship between Yang-Mills theory and general relativity can be stated in terms of a field theory Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) momentum kernel, which maps two colo…

Eikonal amplitudes on the celestial sphere

Tim Adamo, Wei Bu, Piotr Tourkine +1

Celestial scattering amplitudes for massless particles are Mellin transforms of momentum-space scattering amplitudes with respect to the energies of the external particles, and beh…

Gluon scattering on the self-dual dyon

Tim Adamo, Giuseppe Bogna, Lionel Mason +1

The computation of scattering amplitudes in the presence of non-trivial background gauge fields is an important but extremely difficult problem in quantum field theory. In even the…

Gravitational Bound Waveforms from Amplitudes

Tim Adamo, Riccardo Gonzo, Anton Ilderton

With the aim of computing bound waveforms from scattering amplitudes, we explore gravitational two-body dynamics using the Schwinger-Dyson equations and Bethe-Salpeter recursion. W…

Scattering on self-dual Taub-NUT

Tim Adamo, Giuseppe Bogna, Lionel Mason +1

We derive exact solutions of massless free field equations and tree-level two-point amplitudes up to spin 2 on self-dual Taub-NUT space-time, as well as on its single copy, the sel…

Infrared structures of scattering on self-dual radiative backgrounds

Tim Adamo, Wei Bu, Bin Zhu

The scattering of gluons and gravitons in trivial backgrounds is endowed with many surprising infrared features which have interesting conformal interpretations on the two-dimensio…

Scattering amplitudes for self-force

Tim Adamo, Andrea Cristofoli, Anton Ilderton +1

The self-force expansion allows the study of deviations from geodesic motion due to the emission of radiation and its consequent back-reaction. We investigate this scheme within th…

Bethe-Salpeter equation for classical gravitational bound states

Tim Adamo, Riccardo Gonzo

The Bethe-Salpeter equation is a non-perturbative, relativistic and covariant description of two-body bound states. We derive the classical Bethe-Salpeter equation for two massive…

All-order celestial OPE in the MHV sector

Tim Adamo, Wei Bu, Eduardo Casali +1

On-shell kinematics for gluon scattering can be parametrized with points on the celestial sphere; in the limit where these points collide, it is known that tree-level gluon scatter…

Higher-spin Yang-Mills, amplitudes and self-duality

Tim Adamo, Tung Tran

The existence of interacting higher-spin theories is tightly constrained by many no-go theorems. In this paper, we construct a chiral, higher-spin generalization of Yang-Mills theo…

All order gravitational waveforms from scattering amplitudes

Tim Adamo, Andrea Cristofoli, Anton Ilderton +1

Waveforms are classical observables associated with any radiative physical process. Using scattering amplitudes, these are usually computed in a weak-field regime to some finite or…

The ultrarelativistic limit of Kerr

Tim Adamo, Andrea Cristofoli, Piotr Tourkine

The massless (or ultrarelativistic) limit of a Schwarzschild black hole with fixed energy was determined long ago in the form of the Aichelburg-Sexl shockwave, but the status of th…

Snowmass White Paper: the Double Copy and its Applications

Tim Adamo, John Joseph M. Carrasco, Mariana Carrillo-González +6

The double copy is, in essence, a map between scattering amplitudes in a broad variety of familiar field and string theories. In addition to the mathematically rich intrinsic struc…

Classical physics from amplitudes on curved backgrounds

Tim Adamo, Andrea Cristofoli, Anton Ilderton

We generalise the Kosower-Maybee-O'Connell (KMOC) formalism relating classical observables and scattering amplitudes to curved backgrounds. We show how to compute the final semicla…

Graviton scattering in self-dual radiative space-times

Tim Adamo, Lionel Mason, Atul Sharma

The construction of amplitudes on curved space-times is a major challenge, particularly when the background has non-constant curvature. We give formulae for all tree-level graviton…

Eikonal amplitudes from curved backgrounds

Tim Adamo, Andrea Cristofoli, Piotr Tourkine

Eikonal exponentiation in QFT describes the emergence of classical physics at long distances in terms of a non-trivial resummation of infinitely many diagrams. Long ago, 't Hooft p…

Particle-beam scattering from strong-field QED

Tim Adamo, Anton Ilderton, Alexander J. MacLeod

We consider the scattering of probe particles on an ultra-boosted beam of charge, in the case that the fields of the beam are strong and must be treated non-perturbatively. We show…
