The recursive method of Berends and Giele to compute tree-level gluon amplitudes is revisited using the framework of ten-dimensional super Yang-Mills. First we prove that the pure spinor formula to compute SYM tree amplitudes derived in 2010 reduces to the standard Berends-Giele formula from the 80s when restricted to gluon amplitudes and additionally determine the fermionic completion. Second, using BRST cohomology manipulations in superspace, alternative representations of the component amplitudes are explored and the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson relations among partial tree amplitudes are derived in a novel way. Finally, it is shown how the supersymmetric components of manifestly local BCJ-satisfying tree-level numerators can be computed in a recursive fashion.

  1. Dyeing form factors as amplitudes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A dyeing procedure maps form factors to colored amplitudes, recovering the originals by bleaching and explaining double-copy features through standard BCJ relations.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    Perturbiner multi-particle solutions of classical field equations generate Berends–Giele currents and tree-level amplitudes across scalars, gauge theory, gravity, NLSM, AdS, and one-loop integrands, including several ...

  8. Off-shell recursion for all-loop planar integrands in Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Yang-Mills planar loop integrands admit an off-shell recursion that organizes the pure-gluon sector into matrix form and incorporates ghost contributions, yielding a concrete two-loop strategy.
