Generating All Tree Amplitudes in N=4 SYM by Inverse Soft Limit

The idea of adding particles to construct amplitudes has been utilized in various ways in exploring the structure of scattering amplitudes. This idea is often called Inverse Soft Limit, namely it is the reverse mechanism of taking particles to be soft. We apply the Inverse Soft Limit to the tree-level amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory, which allows us to generate full tree-level superamplitudes by adding "soft" particles in a certain way. With the help from Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursion relations, a systematic and concrete way of adding particles is determined recursively. The amplitudes constructed solely by adding particles not only have manifest Yangian symmetry, but also make the soft limit transparent. The method of generating amplitudes by Inverse Soft Limit can also be generalized for constructing form factors.
