Superstring amplitudes from BCJ numerators at one loop

Yvonne Geyer, Jiachen Guo, Ricardo Monteiro +1

We find a direct map that determines moduli-space integrands for one-loop superstring amplitudes in terms of field-theory loop integrands in the BCJ form. The latter can be compute…

Massive ambitwistor-strings; twistorial models

Giulia Albonico, Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

Ambitwistor-strings are chiral strings whose targets are spaces of complex massless particles, and whose correlation functions directly lead to simple, compact formulae for scatter…

The SAGEX Review on Scattering Amplitudes, Chapter 6: Ambitwistor Strings and Amplitudes from the Worldsheet

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

Starting with Witten's twistor string, chiral string theories have emerged that describe field theory amplitudes without the towers of massive states of conventional strings. These…

The SAGEX Review on Scattering Amplitudes

Gabriele Travaglini, Andreas Brandhuber, Patrick Dorey +35

This is an introduction to, and invitation to read, a series of review articles on scattering amplitudes in gauge theory, gravity, and superstring theory. Our aim is to provide an…

From Twistor-Particle Models to Massive Amplitudes

Giulia Albonico, Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

In his twistor-particle programme of the 1970's, Roger Penrose introduced a representation of the massive particle phase space in terms of a pair of twistors subject to an internal…

Superstring loop amplitudes from the field theory limit

Yvonne Geyer, Ricardo Monteiro, Ricardo Stark-Muchão

We propose a procedure to determine the moduli-space integrands of loop-level superstring amplitudes for massless external states in terms of the field theory limit. We focus on th…

Ambitwistor Strings in Six and Five Dimensions

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason, David Skinner

Ambitwistor strings are chiral (holomorphic) strings whose target is the space of complex null geodesics, ambitwistor space. We introduce twistor representations of ambitwistor spa…

Propagators, BCFW Recursion and New Scattering Equations at One Loop

Joseph A. Farrow, Yvonne Geyer, Arthur E. Lipstein +2

We investigate how loop-level propagators arise from tree level via a forward-limit procedure in two modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, namely the BCFW recursion relations…

Recursion and worldsheet formulae for 6d superamplitudes

Giulia Albonico, Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

Recently two of the authors presented a spinorial extension of the scattering equations, the `polarized scattering equations' that incorporates spinor polarization data. These led…

Two-Loop Scattering Amplitudes: Double-Forward Limit and Colour-Kinematics Duality

Yvonne Geyer, Ricardo Monteiro, Ricardo Stark-Muchão

We propose new formulae for the two-loop n-point D-dimensional integrands of scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory and gravity. The loop integrands are written as a double-for…

Supersymmetric S-matrices from the worldsheet in 10 and 11d

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

We obtain compact formulae for tree super-amplitudes for 10 and 11-dimensional supergravity and 10-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills and Born-Infeld. These are based on the \em…

The polarized scattering equations for 6d superamplitudes

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason

We introduce a spinorial version of the scattering equations, the \emph{polarized scattering equations}, that incorporates spinor polarization data. They lead to new formulae for t…

Two-Loop Scattering Amplitudes from Ambitwistor Strings: from Genus Two to the Nodal Riemann Sphere

Yvonne Geyer, Ricardo Monteiro

We derive from ambitwistor strings new formulae for two-loop scattering amplitudes in supergravity and super-Yang-Mills theory, with any number of particles. We start by constructi…

Ambitwistor Strings: Worldsheet Approaches to perturbative Quantum Field Theories

Yvonne Geyer

Tree-level scattering amplitudes in massless theories not only exhibit a simplicity entirely unexpected from Feynman diagrams, but also an underlying structure remarkably reminisce…

Two-Loop Scattering Amplitudes from the Riemann Sphere

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason, Ricardo Monteiro +1

The scattering equations give striking formulae for massless scattering amplitudes at tree level and, as shown recently, at one loop. The progress at loop level was based on ambitw…

One-loop amplitudes on the Riemann sphere

Yvonne Geyer, Lionel Mason, Ricardo Monteiro +1

The scattering equations provide a powerful framework for the study of scattering amplitudes in a variety of theories. Their derivation from ambitwistor string theory led to propos…
