abstract
In our recent works, a new approach for constructing tree amplitudes, based on exploiting soft behaviors, was proposed. In this paper, we extend this approach to effective theories for gluons which incorporate higher-derivative interactions. By applying our method, we construct tree Yang-Mills (YM) and Yang-Mills-scalar (YMS) amplitudes with the single insertion of $F^3$ local operator, as well as the YM amplitudes those receive contributions from both $F^3$ and $F^4$ operators. All results are represented as universal expansions to appropriate basis. We also conjecture a compact general formula for tree YM amplitudes with higher mass dimension, which allows us to generate them from ordinary YM amplitudes, and discuss the consistent factorizations of the conjectured formula.

Hidden zeros extend to higher-derivative tree-level gluon and graviton amplitudes, with systematic cancellation of propagator singularities shown via bi-adjoint scalar expansions.
A method constructs tree amplitudes of scalar EFTs from the double soft theorem by determining the explicit double soft factor during the construction process.
Locality, unitarity, and hidden zeros determine tree-level YM and NLSM amplitudes by reconstructing their soft theorems.
Proof via Feynman diagrams that tree-level BAS⊕X amplitudes with X=YM,NLSM,GR obey 2-split under kinematic conditions, extended to pure X amplitudes with byproduct universal expansions of X currents into BAS currents.
Extends a 2-split factorization approach to reproduce known leading and sub-leading soft theorems for Tr(φ³) and YM single-soft and NLSM double-soft amplitudes while deriving higher-order universal forms and a kinematic relation linking YM gauge invariance to NLSM Adler zero.
Hidden zeros in tree-level amplitudes of several theories are attributed to zeros of bi-adjoint scalar amplitudes via universal expansions, with a mechanism shown to cancel potential propagator divergences in gravity.
