Gravitational shock waves and scattering amplitudes [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We study gravitational shock waves using scattering amplitude techniques. After first reviewing the derivation in General Relativity as an ultrarelativistic boost of a Schwarzschild solution, we provide an alternative derivation by exploiting a novel ...

Worldline geometries for scattering amplitudes

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this paper, we construct the path integral for infinite and semi-infinite scalar worldlines. We show that, at the asymptotic endpoints, on-shell physical states can be generated by inserting vertex operators at infinity.

Positivity properties of scattering amplitudes

Journal of High Energy Physics
We investigate positivity properties in quantum field theory (QFT). We provide evidence, and in some case proofs, that many building blocks of scattering amplitudes, and in some cases the full amplitudes, satisfy an infinite number of positivity ...

Learning the simplicity of scattering amplitudes

SciPost Physics
The simplification and reorganization of complex expressions lies at the core of scientific progress, particularly in theoretical high-energy physics.

Scattering amplitudes for self-force [PDF]

Classical and quantum gravity, 2023
The self-force expansion allows the study of deviations from geodesic motion due to the emission of radiation and its consequent back-reaction. We investigate this scheme within the on-shell framework of semiclassical scattering amplitudes for particles ...

Scattering amplitudes from dispersive iterations of unitarity [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We present and numerically implement a computational method to construct relativistic scattering amplitudes that obey analyticity, crossing, elastic and inelastic unitarity in three and four spacetime dimensions.

The SAGEX review on scattering amplitudes Chapter 2: An invitation to color-kinematics duality and the double copy [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022
Advances in scattering amplitudes have exposed previously-hidden color-kinematics and double-copy structures in theories ranging from gauge and gravity theories to effective field theories such as chiral perturbation theory and the Born–Infeld model ...

The SAGEX review on scattering amplitudes Chapter 14: Classical gravity from scattering amplitudes [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022
Scattering amplitudes have their origin in quantum field theory, but have wide-ranging applications extending to classical physics. We review a formalism to connect certain classical observables to scattering amplitudes. An advantage of this formalism is

The SAGEX review on scattering amplitudes Chapter 11: Soft Theorems and Celestial Amplitudes [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022
The soft limits of scattering amplitudes have been extensively studied due to their essential role in the computation of physical observables in collider physics.

Scattering amplitude annihilators [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Abstract Several second order differential operators are shown to annihilate the YM and GR tree scattering amplitudes. In particular we prove a conjecture of Loebbert, Mojaza and Plefka from their investigation of a hidden conformal symmetry in GR.
