{\it Perturbiner}, that is, the solution of field equations which is a generating function for tree form-factors in N=3 $(N=4)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, is studied in the framework of twistor formulation of the N=3 superfield equations. In the case, when all one-particle asymptotic states belong to the same type of N=3 supermultiplets (without any restriction on kinematics), the solution is described very explicitly. It happens to be a natural supersymmetrization of the self-dual perturbiner in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, designed to describe the Parke-Taylor amplitudes. In the general case, we reduce the problem to a neatly formulated algebraic geometry problem (see Eqs(\ref{5.15i}),(\ref{5.15ii}),(\ref{5.15iii})) and propose an iterative algorithm for solving it, however we have not been able to find a closed-form solution. Solution of this problem would, of course, produce a description of all tree form-factors in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as well. In this context, the N=3 superfield formalism may be considered as a convenient way to describe a solution of the non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, very much in the spirit of works by E.Witten \cite{Witten} and by J.Isenberg, P.B.Yasskin and P.S.Green \cite{2}.

  1. Off-shell recursion for all-loop planar integrands in Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Yang-Mills planar loop integrands admit an off-shell recursion that organizes the pure-gluon sector into matrix form and incorporates ghost contributions, yielding a concrete two-loop strategy.
