The analytic structure of amplitudes on backgrounds from gauge invariance and the infra-red

Abstract Gauge invariance and soft limits can be enough to determine the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes in certain theories. This prompts the question of how gauge invariance is connected to analytic structure in more general theories. Here we focus on QED in background plane waves. We...
