abstract

In this paper we study tree-level amplitudes from higher-dimensional operators, including $F^3$ operator of gauge theory, and $R^2$, $R^3$ operators of gravity, in the Cachazo-He-Yuan formulation. As a generalization of the reduced Pfaffian in Yang-Mills theory, we find a new, gauge-invariant object that leads to gluon amplitudes with a single insertion of $F^3$, and gravity amplitudes by Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations. When reduced to four dimensions for given helicities, the new object vanishes for any solution of scattering equations on which the reduced Pfaffian is non-vanishing. This intriguing behavior in four dimensions explains the vanishing of graviton helicity amplitudes produced by the Gauss-Bonnet $R^2$ term, and provides a scattering-equation origin of the decomposition into self-dual and anti-self-dual parts for $F^3$ and $R^3$ amplitudes.

  1. Hidden zeros for higher-derivative YM and GR amplitudes at tree-level

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hidden zeros extend to higher-derivative tree-level gluon and graviton amplitudes, with systematic cancellation of propagator singularities shown via bi-adjoint scalar expansions.

  2. 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.

  3. Constructing tree amplitudes of scalar EFT from double soft theorem

    hep-th 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A method constructs tree amplitudes of scalar EFTs from the double soft theorem by determining the explicit double soft factor during the construction process.

  4. UV considerations on scattering amplitudes in a web of theories

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tree-level amplitudes in a web of effective field theories are uniquely fixed by locality plus novel single-hard UV scaling constraints, with unitarity emerging in many cases.

  5. Shift symmetries, soft limits, and the double copy beyond leading order

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For higher-derivative corrections, shift symmetry no longer guarantees double-copy compatibility; even-point amplitudes can be made compatible by tuning coefficients, odd-point ones cannot.

  6. Towards tree Yang-Mills and Yang-Mills-scalar amplitudes with higher-derivative interactions

    hep-th 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Extends soft-behavior approach to construct tree YM and YMS amplitudes with F^3 (and F^3+F^4) insertions as universal expansions, plus a conjectured general formula for higher-mass-dimension YM amplitudes from ordinary ones.
