We derive general tree-level recursion relations for amplitudes which include massive propagating particles. As an illustration, we apply these recursion relations to scattering amplitudes of gluons coupled to massive scalars. We provide new results for all amplitudes with a pair of scalars and n < 5 gluons. These amplitudes can be used as building blocks in the computation of one-loop 6-gluon amplitudes using unitarity based methods.

    Perturbiner recursion proves color-factor symmetry (hence BCJ relations) for all tree-level YM+matter amplitudes with at least one gluon.

  5. On-shell recursion relations for higher-spin Compton amplitudes

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The all-line transverse shift makes four-point electromagnetic and gravitational Compton amplitudes on-shell constructible for massive spin s≤3/2 and s≤5/2, respectively, starting from minimal three-point amplitudes.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new U(1) 'transversality' symmetry, embedded in SO(5,1), fixes the structure of massive three-point amplitudes and resolves the e+e- to mu+mu- discrepancy in the spinor-helicity formalism.

  7. Scalar-Graviton Amplitudes

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper gives recursive, covariant, D-dimensional tree amplitudes for two massive scalars and any number of gluons or gravitons, extending known four-dimensional results.
