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 us…

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" formulati…

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…

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…

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…
