abstract

We consider a class of string-like models introduced previously where all modes are left-handed, all states are massless, T-duality is manifest, and only a finite number of orders in the string tension can appear. These theories arise from standard string theories by a singular gauge limit and associated change in worldsheet boundary conditions. In this paper we show how to calculate amplitudes by using the gauge parameter as an infrared regulator. The amplitudes produce the Cachazo-He-Yuan delta-functions after some modular integration; the Mason-Skinner string-like action and amplitudes arise from the zero-tension (infinite-slope) limit. However, without the limit the amplitudes have the same problems as found in the Mason-Skinner formalism.

Perturbiner methods in scattering amplitude

hep-th · 2026-07-07 · accept · novelty 5.5

Perturbiner multi-particle solutions of classical field equations generate Berends–Giele currents and tree-level amplitudes across scalars, gauge theory, gravity, NLSM, AdS, and one-loop integrands, including several unpublished recursions.
