Recursive relations for a quiver gauge theory

Abstract

We study the recursive relations for a quiver gauge theory with the gauge group SU(N-1) x SU( N-2) with bifundamental fermions transforming as (N-1, (N) over bar (2)). We work out the recursive relation for the amplitudes involving a pair of quark and antiquark and gluons of each gauge group. We realize directly in the recursive relations the invariance under the order preserving permutations of the gluons of the first and the second gauge group. We check the proposed relations for MHV, 6-point and 7-point amplitudes and find the agreements with the known results and the known relations with the single gauge group amplitudes. The proposed recursive relation is much more efficient in calculating the amplitudes than using the known relations with the amplitudes of the single gauge group.
