MHV Lagrangian for N = 4 Super Yang - Mills
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we formulate two field redefinitions for N=4 Super Yang-Mills in light cone superspace that generates only MHV vertices in the new Lagrangian. After careful consideration of the S-matrix equivalence theorem, we see that only the canonical transformation gives the MHV Lagrangian that would correspond to the CSW expansion. Being in superspace, it is easier to analyse the equivalence theorem at loop level. We calculate the on shell amplitude for 4pt (Λ̄ĀΛA) MHV in the new lagrangian and show that it reproduces the previously known form. We also briefly discuss the relationship with the off-shell continuation prescription of CSW.

A Note on Loop Amplitudes in QED
We consider the two-loop four-point amplitude in N = 2 super QED, and show that there exists an approximate recursive structure similar to that captured by the ABDK/BDS ansatz for MHV amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills. Furthermore, we present a simple relation between the box coefficients of one-loop photon MHV amplitudes in (super) QED, and sums of box coefficients of one-loop MHV amplitude...
متن کاملOne-Loop Gauge Theory Amplitudes in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills from MHV Vertices
We propose a new, twistor string theory inspired formalism to calculate loop amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. In this approach, maximal helicity violating (MHV) tree amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang-Mills are used as vertices, using an offshell prescription introduced by Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten, and combined into effective diagrams that incorporate large numbers of conventional Fey...
متن کاملA Twistor Approach to One-Loop Amplitudes in N =1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
We extend the twistor string theory inspired formalism introduced in hep-th/0407214 for calculating loop amplitudes in N =4 super Yang-Mills theory to the case of N =1 (and N =2) super Yang-Mills. Our approach yields a novel representation of the gauge theory amplitudes as dispersion integrals, which are surprisingly simple to evaluate. As an application we calculate one-loop maximally helicity...
متن کاملMHV Amplitudes in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills and Wilson Loops
It is a remarkable fact that MHV amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at arbitrary loop order can be written as the product of the tree amplitude with the same helicity configuration and a universal, helicity-blind function of the kinematic invariants. In this note we show how for one-loop MHV amplitudes with an arbitrary number of external legs this universal function can b...
متن کاملA cluster bootstrap for two-loop MHV amplitudes
We apply a bootstrap procedure to two-loop MHV amplitudes in planar N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We argue that the mathematically most complicated part (the ΛB2 coproduct component) of the n-particle amplitude is uniquely determined by a simple cluster algebra property together with a few physical constraints (dihedral symmetry, analytic structure, supersymmetry, and well-defined collinear li...
