Scattering amplitudes are one of the most important observables in perturbative quantum field theory, because they allow for the calculation of cross-sections, which are central to collision experiments. In this thesis, we perform a thorough review of some of the modern method for the calculation of tree-level amplitudes, the leading order contributions to the perturbative expansion of scattering amplitudes, focusing on the gauge theories that make up the standard model of particle physics. We will study methods for their calculation that overcome the issues and inefficiencies of Feynman diagrams, focusing on the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formalism, which provides closed formulas for tree amplitudes in arbitrary dimension as integrals over n-punctured Riemann spheres localized on the solutions to a set of constraints that relate the punctures over the Riemann spheres to the kinematic invariants of the process, known as the scattering equations. We will introduce the CHY formalism for pure Yang-Mills amplitudes, as well as one of its supersymmetric generalizations, the so-called maximally supersymmetric or N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory (SYM). We will introduce the notion of basis amplitudes for Yang-Mills and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which are based on the idea of color decomposition, the separation of color and kinematic degrees of freedom, and see how one can obtain CHY representations for QCD amplitudes. We will use one of these representations, given in terms of basis amplitudes, to derive soft theorems for the CHY integrand of QCD, which is a first step into obtaining constraints on its mathematical structure. |

En esta tesis presentamos una revisión de algunos de los métodos modernos para el cálculo de amplitudes a nivel árbol, las cuales constituyen la primera contribución a la expansión perturbativa de las amplitudes, haciendo énfasis en el caso de las teorías de gauge a partir de las cuales el modelo estandar de la física de partículas está construido. Estudiaremos métodos que evitan los problemas e ineficiencias de los diagramas de Feynman, enfocándonos en el formalismo Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY), el cual provee fórmulas cerradas para las amplitudes a nivel árbol en dimensión arbitraria como integrales sobre esferas de Riemann con n punturas, localizadas en la solución de un conjunto de ecuaciones que relacionan dichas punturas con el espacio de invariantes cinemáticos asociados al proceso, las cuales son conocidas como las ecuaciones de scattering. Haremos una introducción al formalismo CHY para amplitudes en teorías de Yang-Mills, así como una de sus generalizaciones supersimétricas, conocida como supersimetría maximal o símplemente teoría de super Yang-Mills N = 4. Discutiremos la noción de las amplitudes base en Yang-Mills y Cromodinámica Cuántica (QCD), la cual está basada en la idea de la descomposición de color. Esta representa una forma de separar los grados de libertad cinemáticos de los grados de libertad de color, y veremos distintas alternativas para obtener representaciones CHY para las amplitudes de QCD. Usaremos una de estas representaciones, la cual estará dada en términos de amplitudes base, para obtener teoremas de emisión infraroja sobre el integrando CHY de la QCD, lo cual representa un primer paso en la obtención de restricciones sobre su estructura matemática.Maestríaapplication/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Bogotá Facultad de Ciencias Departamento de FísicaDepartamento de FísicaVesga Simmons, Juan Pablo (2017) Scattering equations formalism for QCD and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories.
