One-Loop Splitting Amplitudes in Gauge Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We recompute the functions describing the collinear factorization of one-loop amplitudes using the unitarity-based method. We present the results in a form suitable for use as an ingredient in two-loop calculations. We also present a function summarizing the behavior at one loop in both the soft and collinear limits.

Factorization in One-Loop Gauge Theory
Factorization properties of one-loop gauge theory amplitudes have been used as checks on explicitly computed amplitudes and in the construction of ansätze for higher-point ones. In massless theories, such as QCD at high energies, infrared divergences complicate factorization. Here we prove that factorization in such theories is described by a set of universal functions. In particular, a proof o...
متن کاملOne-Loop n-Point Gauge Theory Amplitudes, Unitarity and Collinear Limits
We present a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansätze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory. As an example, we obtain the one-loop contribution to amplitudes for n gluon scattering in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the helicity configuration of the Parke-Taylor tree amplitudes. We prove that our N = 4 ansatz is correct using general properties ...
متن کاملSplitting Amplitudes in QCD
Splitting amplitudes are universal functions governing the collinear behavior of scattering amplitudes for massless particles. We compute the two-loop g → gg splitting amplitudes in QCD, N = 1, and N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theories, which describe the limits of two-loop n-point amplitudes where two gluon momenta become parallel. They also represent an ingredient in a direct x-space computation of...
متن کاملTwo-loop Splitting Amplitudes
Splitting amplitudes govern the behavior of scattering amplitudes at the momenta of external legs become collinear. In this talk we outline the calculation of two-loop splitting amplitudes via the unitarity sewing method. This method retains the simple factorization properties of light-cone gauge, but avoids the need for prescriptions such as the principal value or Mandelstam-Leibbrandt ones. T...
