abstract

We show that the soft photon, gluon and graviton theorems can be understood as the Ward-Takahashi identities of large gauge transformation, i.e., diffeomorphism that does not fall off at spatial infinity. We found infinitely many new identities which constrain the higher order soft behavior of the gauge bosons and gravitons in scattering amplitudes of gauge and gravity theories. Diagrammatic representations of these soft theorems are presented.

Tree and $1$-loop fundamental BCJ relations from soft theorems

hep-th · 2023-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Derives the fundamental BCJ relation at tree level from soft theorems in bi-adjoint scalar theory, generalizes it to 1-loop integrands, and uses it to explain Adler zeros in other scalar theories.

Tree level amplitudes from soft theorems

hep-th · 2022-12-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.
