Leading Singularities in Higher-Derivative Yang–Mills Theory and Quadratic Gravity

In this work, we explore general leading singularities of one-loop amplitudes in higher-derivative Yang–Mills and quadratic gravity. These theories are known to possess propagators which contain quadratic and quartic momentum dependence, which leads to the presence of an unstable ghostlike resonance...
