Recursion relations, generating functions, and unitarity sums in N=4 SYM theory

We prove that the MHV vertex expansion is valid for any NMHV tree amplitude of Script N = 4 SYM. The proof uses induction to show that there always exists a complex deformation of three external momenta such that the amplitude falls off at least as fast as 1/z for large z. This validates the generat...
