AI-assisted closed formula for single-minus gluon amplitudes

Guevara, Lupsasca, Skinner, Strominger and Weil report nonzero tree-level single-minus gluon amplitudes for special half-collinear configurations in Klein space or complexified momenta, with a closed product formula in a specified decay region.

Sources for this record

What was already known

Standard vanishing arguments apply at generic kinematics. The authors first calculated low-multiplicity examples; the new formula extends the specified decay-region result to arbitrary multiplicity.

What changed and why it matters

An analytical advance for a defined amplitude family, with a general-multiplicity formula. Its significance is restricted to the stated kinematics.

The AI contribution

The paper credits GPT-5.2 Pro with conjecturing the product formula and an internal OpenAI model with proving it. Human authors identified the physical setting and checked the solution by hand against recursion and consistency identities.

Limitations

This does not overturn vanishing at generic physical kinematics or demonstrate an observed particle decay. The paper reports author checks, not an independent audit. AIProofWatch has not checked the derivation or run a formal prover.

Verification evidence

Evidence labels show what supports the claim. Importance rates its impact if correct.

Author claim

The authors report the formula and hand checks against recursion, soft limits and amplitude identities.

Accessible artifact / proof

Accessible written derivation. AIProofWatch has not audited or formally checked it.
