Double soft theorem for generalised biadjoint scalar amplitudes

Abstract

We study double soft theorem for the generalised biadjoint scalar field theory whose amplitudes are computed in terms of punctures on \mathbb{CP}^{k-1}ℂℙk−1. We find that whenever the double soft limit does not decouple into a product of single soft factors, the leading contributions to the double soft theorems come from the degenerate solutions, otherwise the non-degenerate solutions dominate. Our analysis uses the regular solutions to the scattering equations. Most of the results are presented for k=3k=3 but we show how they generalise to arbitrary kk. We have explicit analytic results, for any kk, in the case when soft external states are adjacent.
