The polynomial form of the scattering equations is an $H$ -basis

Jorrit Bosma, Mads Søgaard, and Yang Zhang

Phys. Rev. D 94, 041701(R) (2016) - Published 3 August, 2016

The calculation of scattering amplitudes for an arbitrary number of scattering particles in quantum field theories is a very challenging task. Within the so-called scattering equation framework, the authors propose a new way to evaluate scattering amplitudes by exploiting an equivalent polynomial form of the scattering equations. It is argued that the new method would dramatically simply computations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Bias to CMB lensing measurements from the bispectrum of large-scale structure

Vanessa Böhm, Marcel Schmittfull, and Blake D. Sherwin

Phys. Rev. D 94, 043519 (2016) - Published 15 August, 2016

CMB lensing probes the growth of the large-scale structure (LSS) of the universe. The authors analytically quantify the effect of non-linearities in the LSS formation on CMB lensing, which leads to a so far neglected bias. With the precision of future experiments ( $S t a g e$ - $I I I$ , $S t a g e$ - $I V$ ), this bias will significantly shift the measured power spectra and must be accounted for.

Astrophysical applications of the post-Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff formalism

Kostas Glampedakis, George Pappas, Hector O. Silva, and Emanuele Berti

Phys. Rev. D 94, 044030 (2016) - Published 12 August, 2016

In this paper, a previously developed formalism, where all possible deviations, due to modified gravity from the structure of compact stars in general relativity, have been classified in a parametrized phenomenological form, has been used to deal with the stellar exterior. Several potential astrophysical observables, e.g. the surface redshift, have been computed for future use.
