abstract
Several recent developments point to the fact that rational maps from n-punctured spheres to the null cone of D dimensional momentum space provide a natural language for describing the scattering of massless particles in D dimensions. In this note we identify and study equations relating the kinematic invariants and the puncture locations, which we call the scattering equations. We provide an inductive algorithm in the number of particles for their solutions and prove a remarkable property which we call KLT Orthogonality. In a nutshell, KLT orthogonality means that "Parke-Taylor" vectors constructed from the solutions to the scattering equations are mutually orthogonal with respect to the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) bilinear form. We end with comments on possible connections to gauge theory and gravity amplitudes in any dimension and to the high-energy limit of string theory amplitudes.

Differential operators built from the 1-loop CHY formula map the gravitational 1-loop Feynman integrand to those of Einstein-Yang-Mills, pure Yang-Mills, Born-Infeld, bi-adjoint scalar, and other theories, with factorization into tree-level operators under unitarity cuts.
Reconstruction of known soft factors via transmutation operators and proof of nonexistence of higher-order universal soft factors for YM and GR amplitudes.
Derives expansion formulas for multi-trace YMS amplitudes bottom-up from soft gluon and scalar behaviors.
Develops worldsheet sigma model for fundamental strings in critical type IIA limit showing nodal singularities and derives T-duality web unifying decoupling limits including ambitwistor and Carrollian strings.
A recursive construction expands tree YM amplitudes to YMS and BAS amplitudes from soft theorems while preserving gauge invariance at each step.
New differential operators transmute 1-loop gravitational integrands to Yang-Mills ones and enable a unified web of expansions relating integrands of gravity, gauge, scalar and effective theories.
Recursive construction of off-shell NLSM and SG tree amplitudes from bootstrapped low-point ones via universal soft behaviors, automatically producing enhanced Adler zeros on-shell.
The paper constructs general tree NLSM amplitudes via an expanded formula enforced by Adler zero universality and derives the corresponding double soft factors.
Tree-level amplitudes for Yang-Mills-scalar, pure Yang-Mills, Einstein-Yang-Mills and gravitational theories are reconstructed from soft theorems, universality of soft factors and double copy, with explicit soft factors determined.
Differential operators and three color-ordered amplitude relations are extended from on-shell to off-shell CHY integrals in the double-cover framework.
A recursive expansion of single-trace YMS amplitudes is built from soft theorems; the result is gauge invariant, permutation symmetric, and equivalent to the Cheung-Mangan covariant color-kinematic duality construction.
