abstract
We present the building blocks that can be combined to produce tree-level S-matrix elements of a variety of theories with various spins mixed in arbitrary dimensions. The new formulas for the scattering of $n$ massless particles are given by integrals over the positions of $n$ points on a sphere restricted to satisfy the scattering equations. As applications, we obtain all single-trace amplitudes in Einstein--Yang--Mills (EYM) theory, and generalizations to include scalars. Also in EYM but extended by a B-field and a dilaton, we present all double-trace gluon amplitudes. The building blocks are made of Pfaffians and Parke--Taylor-like factors of subsets of particle labels.

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.
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.
Hidden zeros extend to higher-derivative tree-level gluon and graviton amplitudes, with systematic cancellation of propagator singularities shown via bi-adjoint scalar expansions.
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.
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.
Hidden zeros in NLSM amplitudes are proven via modified BCFW recursion, with 2-split holding only under careful current definition.
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.
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.
