Full one-loop amplitudes from tree amplitudes [PDF]
We establish an efficient polynomial-complexity algorithm for one-loop calculations, based on generalized $D$-dimensional unitarity. It allows automated computations of both cut-constructible {\it and} rational parts of one-loop scattering amplitudes from on-shell tree amplitudes.

Chaos in a many-string scattering amplitude [PDF]
String theory provides a compact integral expression for the tree-level scattering amplitude of an arbitrary number of light strings. We focus on amplitudes involving a few tachyons and many photons, with a special choice of polarizations and kinematics.

Two-Loop Four-Graviton Scattering Amplitudes. [PDF]
We present the analytic form of the two-loop four-graviton scattering amplitudes in Einstein gravity. To remove ultraviolet divergences we include counterterms quadratic and cubic in the Riemann curvature tensor. The two-loop numerical unitarity approach

From Scattering Amplitudes to Classical Potentials in the Post-Minkowskian Expansion. [PDF]
We combine tools from effective field theory and generalized unitarity to construct a map between on-shell scattering amplitudes and the classical potential for interacting spinless particles.

Scattering amplitudes and the double copy in topologically massive theories [PDF]
Using the principles of the modern scattering amplitudes programme, we develop a formalism for constructing the amplitudes of three-dimensional topologically massive gauge theories and gravity.

The SAGEX Review on Scattering Amplitudes, Chapter 9: Integrability of Amplitudes in Fishnet Theories [PDF]
We discuss the properties of scattering amplitudes in a conformal bi-scalar fishnet theory that previously appeared in the study of integrable deformations of $\mathcal N=4$ SYM. In distinction with the latter theory, the scattering amplitudes in the conformal fishnet theory do not suffer from infrared divergences and possess enhanced symmetries.

Fusing Gauge Theory Tree Amplitudes Into Loop Amplitudes [PDF]
We identify a large class of one-loop amplitudes for massless particles that can be constructed via unitarity from tree amplitudes, without any ambiguities. One-loop amplitudes for massless supersymmetric gauge theories fall into this class; in addition, many non-supersymmetric amplitudes can be rearranged to take advantage of the result.

Four-Gauge-Particle Scattering Amplitudes and Polyakov String Path Integral in the proper-time gauge [PDF]
We evaluate four-gauge-particle tree level scattering amplitudes using the Polyakov string path integral in the proper-time gauge, where the string path integral can be cast into the Feynman-Schwinger proper-time representation. We compare the resultant scattering amplitudes, which include $\ap$-corrections, with the conventional ones that may be ...

Feynman Integrals and Scattering Amplitudes from Wilson Loops. [PDF]
We study Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory by exploiting the duality with null polygonal Wilson loops. As the main application, we compute for the first time the symbols of the general double pentagon integrals ...

On the harmonic scattering amplitudes from a nonlinear elastic spherical inclusion [PDF]
In this paper, the interaction of an incident finite amplitude longitudinal wave with a localized region of nonlinearity is considered. This interaction produces a secondary field represented by a superposition of first-, second-, and third-harmonic components.
