1207.5511 (Alexander C. Edison et al.)

Symmetric-group decomposition of SU(N) group-theory constraints on
four-, five-, and six-point color-ordered amplitudes
   [PDF]

Alexander C. Edison, Stephen G. Naculich
Color-ordered amplitudes for the scattering of n particles in the adjoint representation of SU(N) gauge theory satisfy constraints that arise from group theory alone. These constraints break into subsets associated with irreducible representations of the symmetric group S_n, which allows them to be presented in a compact and natural way. Using an iterative approach, we derive the constraints for six-point amplitudes at all loop orders, extending earlier results for n=4 and n=5. We then decompose the four-, five-, and six-point group-theory constraints into their irreducible S_n subspaces. We comment briefly on higher-point two-loop amplitudes.
