Infinite Set of Soft Theorems in Gauge-Gravity Theories as Ward-Takahashi Identities
read the original 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
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.

Soft theorems of tree-level ${\rm Tr}(\phi^3)$, YM and NLSM amplitudes from $2$-splits
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 kinemat...

On symmetries of gravitational on-shell boundary action at null infinity
Fixing null-infinity boundary action ambiguities via 5-point amplitude constraints yields subleading soft theorems and proposes generalized Geroch-tensor Goldstone modes for sub^n-leading soft graviton insertions.

Tree level amplitudes from soft theorems
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 facto...
