BCJ relations from a new symmetry of gauge-theory amplitudes
BCJ relations from a new symmetry of gauge-theory amplitudes
We introduce a new set of symmetries obeyed by tree-level gauge-theory amplitudes involving at least one gluon. The symmetry acts as a momentum-dependent shift on the color factors of the amplitude. Using the radiation vertex expansion, we prove the invariance under this color-factor shift of the n-gluon amplitude, as well …
