I've been having some trouble finding good quality literature in regards to MHV and Parke-Taylor.

One of the better references I found being

https://www.ph.nat.tum.de/fileadmin/w00bya/ttpmath/pdf/sheet10-11.pdf

What I've having difficulty finding is the proofs for validity of the methodology specifically. Any recommendations appreciated.
Complexity of the literature isn't an issue the QFT mathematics wouldn't be an issue though string theory mathematics would be.
(Haven't looked at String theory in the last few years)

Many thanks for both links they both contain much of the relevant details Will take time to properly study though lol
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
