abstract
We present a Ward identity for nonlinear sigma models using generalized nonlinear shift symmetries, without introducing current algebra or coset space. The Ward identity constrains correlation functions of the sigma model such that the Adler's zero is guaranteed for $S$-matrix elements, and gives rise to a subleading single soft theorem that is valid at the quantum level and to all orders in the Goldstone decay constant. For tree amplitudes, the Ward identity leads to a novel Berends-Giele recursion relation as well as an explicit form of the subleading single soft factor. Furthermore, interactions of the cubic biadjoint scalar theory associated with the single soft limit, which was previously discovered using the Cachazo-He-Yuan representation of tree amplitudes, can be seen to emerge from matrix elements of conserved currents corresponding to the generalized shift symmetry.

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.
