We obtain the detailed Feynman rules for perturbative gauge theory on a fixed Yang-Mills plane wave background. Using these rules, the tree-level 4-point gluon amplitude is computed and some 1-loop Feynman diagrams are considered. As an application, we test the extent to which colour-kinematics duality, the relation between the colour and kinematic constituents of the amplitude, holds on the plane wave background. Although the duality is obstructed, the obstruction has an interesting constrained structure. This plane wave version of colour-kinematics duality reduces on a flat background to the well-known identities underpinning the BCJ relations for colour-ordered partial amplitudes, and constrains representations of tree-level amplitudes beyond 4-points.

  1. Perturbations of Plane Waves and Quadratic Quasinormal Modes on the Lightring

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Second-order gravitational perturbations on plane waves are solved with a GHP master equation and tensor harmonics, yielding quadratic quasinormal mode ratios and selection rules.

  2. Gleaning gravitational amplitudes -- a double copy for canceling dilatons

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An asymmetric double copy with a ghost-like sqrt-dilaton cancels dilaton contaminations in tree-level GR amplitudes with massive scalars up to six points, leaving a residual bubble ambiguity at one loop.
