    Non-abelian ZZ-theory: Berends-Giele recursion for the α′\alpha'-expansion of disk integrals

    We present a recursive method to calculate the α′\alpha'-expansion of disk integrals arising in tree-level scattering of open strings which resembles the approach of Berends and Giele to gluon amplitudes. Following an earlier interpretation of disk integrals as doubly partial amplitudes of an effective theory of scalars dubbed as ZZ-theory, we pinpoint the equation of motion of ZZ-theory from the Berends-Giele recursion for its tree amplitudes. A computer implementation of this method including explicit results for the recursion up to order α′7\alpha'^7 is made available on the website http://repo.or.cz/BGap.gitComment: 58 pages, harvmac TeX, v2: cosmetic changes, published versio
