We show how curing an anomaly of the twistor uplift of self-dual Yang-Mills theory implies linear relations among one-loop, $n$-gluon, color-ordered subamplitudes in QCD, when all $n$ gluon helicities are positive, or when exactly one is negative. We compute the number of linearly independent subamplitudes as determined by these relations, in terms of unsigned Stirling numbers. Then we use a momentum-twistor parametrization to show that there are no further linear dependencies.

  1. Schwarzschild black holes from twistor space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The Schwarzschild metric is derived as a Kähler metric on a holomorphic 'coincidence locus' within the twistor space of self-dual Taub-NUT, solving the googly problem for this specific spacetime.

  2. Scattering and depletion in a flying focus from conformal transformations

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Photon emission amplitudes in totally depleting flying focus beams equal a Gaussian average over momentum variables of the corresponding plane-wave amplitudes, obtained via conformal transformations of Volkov solutions.

  3. Two-loop all-plus helicity amplitudes for self-dual Higgs boson with gluons via unitarity cut constraints

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Two-loop all-plus helicity amplitudes for self-dual Higgs plus gluons are obtained via four-dimensional unitarity cuts into one-loop and tree amplitudes plus finite-field tensor reduction.
