Perturbiner methods in scattering amplitudes
Abstract
Berends--Giele currents have recently attracted renewed attention across the amplitude community, appearing in new contexts ranging from gravitational amplitudes to cosmological correlators and string theory. They can be derived from first principles using the perturbiner method, a thirty-year-old framework that organizes tree-level scattering data in the form of classical multi-particle solutions to field theory equations of motion. After its rediscovery about a decade ago, it has been systematically studied and applied in many different domains. This review aims to provide a pedagogical introduction to the method, covering its basic formulation across a broad but certainly not exhaustive range of models and progressing to some of the most recent findings in the literature. This includes several unpublished results, many of which represent tacit knowledge of the community that has not previously appeared in print.
