We review generalized unitarity as a means for obtaining loop amplitudes from on-shell tree amplitudes. The method is generally applicable to both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric amplitudes, including non-planar contributions. Here we focus mainly on N=4 Yang-Mills theory, in the context of on-shell superspaces. Given the need for regularization at loop level, we also review a six-dimensional helicity-based superspace formalism and its application to dimensional and massive regularizations. An important feature of the unitarity method is that it offers a means for carrying over any identified tree-level property of on-shell amplitudes to loop level, though sometimes in a modified form. We illustrate this with examples of dual conformal symmetry and a recently discovered duality between color and kinematics.

Kerr Soft Dressing and the $w_{1+\infty}$ Frame Algebra at Null Infinity
The Kerr soft exponent generates a parity-alternating hierarchy of null-infinity frame generators—displacement memory at s=0, spin memory at s=1, and higher moments alternating by Kerr multipole parity—realized as the...

NLSM amplitudes from a quartic two-derivative theory
A two-field scalar theory with a single quartic two-derivative vertex reproduces all planar NLSM tree amplitudes and, up to scaleless terms, all loop integrands.

Planar loop integrands from cuts in $D$ dimensions
A Möbius-inversion formula on the refinement poset reconstructs planar L-loop n-point integrands as sums over non-scaleless scalar graphs dressed by D-dimensional cuts, demonstrated for Yang-Mills theory.
