We discuss the origin of the Wilson polygon–MHV amplitude duality at a perturbative level. It is shown that the duality for the MHV amplitudes at the one-loop level can be proven upon a particular change of variables in Feynman parametrization and with the use of the relation between Feynman integrals at different space-time dimensions. Some generalization of the duality which implies the insertion of a particular vertex operator at the Wilson triangle is found for the 3-point function. We…

Aspects of the N=4 SYM amplitude – Wilson polygon duality

From correlation functions to Wilson loops

We start with an n−point correlation function in a conformal gauge theory. We show that a special limit produces a polygonal Wilson loop with n sides. The limit takes the n points towards the…

Amplitudes at weak coupling as polytopes in AdS5

We show that one-loop scalar box functions can be interpreted as volumes of geodesic tetrahedra embedded in a copy of AdS5 that has dual conformal spacetime as boundary. When the tetrahedron is…

Amplitudes in N = 4 SYM from the Quantum geometry of the Momentum Space

We discuss multiloop MHV amplitudes in the N = 4 SYM theory in terms of effective gravity in the momentum space with IR regulator branes as degrees of freedom. Kinematical invariants of external…

Null Wilson loops with a self-crossing and the Wilson loop/amplitude conjecture

The present study illuminates the relation between null cusped Wilson loops and their corresponding amplitudes. We find that, compared to the case with no self-crossing, the one loop expectation…

Classical polylogarithms for amplitudes and Wilson loops.

MHV amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills and Wilson loops

Implementation of the duality between Wilson loops and scattering amplitudes in QCD.

It is shown that the area-law behavior of asymptotically large Wilson loops is dual to the Regge-Veneziano behavior of scattering amplitudes at high energies and fixed momentum transfer, when the quark mass is small and/or the number of particles is large.
