Abstract

The Loop-Tree Duality (LTD) theorem is an innovative technique to deal with multi-loop scattering amplitudes, leading to integrand-level representations over a Euclidean space. In this article, we review the last developments concerning this framework, focusing on the manifestly causal representation of multi-loop Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes, and the definition of dual local counter-terms to cancel infrared singularities.

Highlights

  • Adam Kardos and GiuseppeThe most successful description of the microscopic structure of Nature is currently given by the Standard Model (SM), which is based on quantum field theories (QFT) with specific gauge symmetries

  • In Ref. [92], we presented for the first time a manifestly causal integrand-level representation inspired by the Loop-Tree Duality (LTD) theorem

  • The solid lines correspond to the results obtained within the LTD formalism, the dots are the numerical results obtained with F IESTA 4.2
