Proof of the MHV vertex expansion for all tree amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory

We prove the MHV vertex expansion for all tree amplitudes of Script N = 4 SYM theory. The proof uses a shift acting on all external momenta, and we show that every NkMHV tree amplitude falls off as 1/zk, or faster, for large z under this shift. The MHV vertex expansion allows us to derive compact an...
