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 proposals for formulae at one loop on a torus for 10 dimensional supergravity, and we recently showed how these can be reduced to the Riemann sphere and checked in simple cases. We also proposed analogous formulae for other theories including maximal super-Yang-Mills theory and supergravity in other dimensions at one loop. We give further details of these results and extend them in two directions. Firstly, we propose new formulae for the one-loop integrands of Yang-Mills theory and gravity in the absence of supersymmetry. These follow from the identification of the states running in the loop as expressed in the ambitwistor-string correlator. Secondly, we give a systematic proof of the non-supersymmetric formulae using the worldsheet factorisation properties of the nodal Riemann sphere underlying the scattering equations at one loop. Our formulae have the same decomposition under the recently introduced Q-cuts as one-loop integrands and hence give the correct amplitudes.

  1. Gleaning gravitational amplitudes -- a double copy for canceling dilatons

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An asymmetric double copy with a ghost-like sqrt-dilaton cancels dilaton contaminations in tree-level GR amplitudes with massive scalars up to six points, leaving a residual bubble ambiguity at one loop.

  2. On differential operators and unifying relations for $1$-loop Feynman integrands

    hep-th 2021-08 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Differential operators built from the 1-loop CHY formula map the gravitational 1-loop Feynman integrand to those of Einstein-Yang-Mills, pure Yang-Mills, Born-Infeld, bi-adjoint scalar, and other theories, with factor...

  3. On one-loop amplitudes in gauge theories

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A universal expansion expresses one-loop n-gluon amplitudes in general gauge theories as scalar-loop integrands dressed by matter-dependent gauge-invariant traces.

  4. On the New Factorizations of Yang-Mills Amplitudes

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tree-level Yang-Mills amplitudes factorize into gluings of lower-point amplitudes when a rectangular set of Mandelstam variables vanishes, and this paper gives a rigorous CHY-based proof.

  5. Transmutation operators and expansions for $1$-loop Feynman integrands

    hep-th 2022-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    New differential operators transmute 1-loop gravitational integrands to Yang-Mills ones and enable a unified web of expansions relating integrands of gravity, gauge, scalar and effective theories.

  6. The spectrum of the bosonic ambitwistor string revisited

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The bosonic ambitwistor string spectrum is confined to the massless sector and contains the dilaton, metric, Kalb-Ramond field plus an extra vector, but is non-unitary.
