A non-linear gauge transformation towards the BCJ duality

In this talk, a concrete realization of the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) duality between color and kinematics in non-abelian gauge theories is presented. The method of Berends-Giele to package Feynman diagrams into currents is shown to yield classical solutions to the non-linear Yang-Mills equations. We describe a non-linear gauge transformation of these perturbiner solutions which reorganize the cubic-diagram content such that the kinematic dependence obeys the same Jacobi identities as the accompanying color factors. The resulting tree-level subdiagrams are assembled to kinematic numerators of tree-level and one-loop amplitudes which satisfy the BCJ duality.
