We present the building blocks that can be combined to produce tree-level S-matrix elements of a variety of theories with various spins mixed in arbitrary dimensions. The new formulas for the scattering of $n$ massless particles are given by integrals over the positions of $n$ points on a sphere restricted to satisfy the scattering equations. As applications, we obtain all single-trace amplitudes in Einstein--Yang--Mills (EYM) theory, and generalizations to include scalars. Also in EYM but extended by a B-field and a dilaton, we present all double-trace gluon amplitudes. The building blocks are made of Pfaffians and Parke--Taylor-like factors of subsets of particle labels.

  7. Hidden Zeros and $2$-split via BCFW Recursion Relation

    hep-th 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Hidden zeros in NLSM amplitudes are proven via modified BCFW recursion, with 2-split holding only under careful current definition.

  8. Note on hidden zeros and expansions of tree-level amplitudes

    hep-th 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Hidden zeros in tree-level amplitudes of several theories are attributed to zeros of bi-adjoint scalar amplitudes via universal expansions, with a mechanism shown to cancel potential propagator divergences in gravity.
