Tree and $1$-loop fundamental BCJ relations from soft theorems

Abstract

We provide a new derivation of the fundamental BCJ relation among double color ordered tree amplitudes of bi-adjoint scalar theory, based on the leading soft theorem for external scalars. Then, we generalize the fundamental BCJ relation to $1$-loop Feynman integrands. We also use the fundamental BCJ relation to understand the Adler's zero for tree amplitudes of non-linear Sigma model and Born-Infeld theories.
