Quantum Off-Shell Recursion Relation

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We construct off-shell recursion relations for arbitrary loop-level scattering amplitudes beyond the conventional tree-level recursion relations for ϕ4ϕ^{4}-theory and the Yang-Mills theory. We define a quantum perturbiner expansion that includes loop corrections from the quantum effective action formalism by identifying the external source. Our method clearly shows how the perturbiner expansion becomes an off-shell current generating function. Instead of using the classical equations of motion in the conventional perturbiner method, we exploit the Dyson-Schwinger equation to derive the quantum off-shell recursion relation to arbitrary order of loop-level scattering amplitudes. We solve the recursion relation and reproduce the results which agree up to one-loop six-point scattering amplitudes for ϕ4ϕ^{4}-theory. Furthermore, we construct the recursions for computing loop-level correlation functions by replacing the choice of the external source.
