We demonstrate that loop integrands of (super-)gravity scattering amplitudes possess surprising properties in the ultraviolet (UV) region. In particular, we study the scaling of multi-particle unitarity cuts for asymptotically large momenta and expose an improved UV behavior of four-dimensional cuts through seven loops as compared to standard expectations. For N=8 supergravity, we show that the improved large momentum scaling combined with the behavior of the integrand under BCFW…

Abstract We define a perturbatively calculable quantity — the on-shell correlator — which furnishes a unified description of particle dynamics in curved spacetime. Specializing to the case of flat
Quivers for coloured planar $\phi^n$ theories at all loop orders for scattering processes from Feynman diagrams
It is known how to construct the quivers for φ3 theories for all loop orders. Here we extend this further to the case of theories for φn theories, for any n. We also construct the quivers for mixed

Propagators, BCFW recursion and new scattering equations at one loop

We investigate how loop-level propagators arise from tree level via a forward-limit procedure in two modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, namely the BCFW recursion relations and the scattering
Structure of two-loop SMEFT anomalous dimensions via on-shell methods
• Computer Science

Methods for computing one-loop amplitudes are summarized, and how the structure of rational terms and judicious renormalization scheme choices can lead to additional vanishing terms in the anomalous dimension matrix at two loops is explained.
Towards the Gravituhedron: new expressions for NMHV gravity amplitudes

We extend on-shell bootstrap methods from spacetime amplitudes to the worldsheet objects of the CHY formalism. We find that the integrands corresponding to tree-level non-linear sigma model,
