Grassmannian Integral for General Gauge Invariant Off-shell Amplitudes in N=4 SYM
In this paper we consider tree-level gauge invariant off-shell amplitudes
(Wilson line form factors) in SYM with arbitrary number of
off-shell gluons or equivalently Wilson line operator insertions. We make a
conjecture for the Grassmannian integral representation for such objects and
verify our conjecture on several examples. It is remarkable that in our
formulation one can consider situation when on-shell particles are not present
at all, i.e. we have Grassmannian integral representation for purely off-shell
object. In addition we show that off-shell amplitude with arbitrary number of
off-shell gluons could be also obtained using quantum inverse scattering method
for auxiliary super spin chain.Comment: 38 pages, 9 figures; v4: typos corrected, comment in section 3.2

Ambitwistor strings and reggeon amplitudes in N=4 SYM
We consider the description of reggeon amplitudes (Wilson lines form factors)
in N=4 SYM within the framework of four dimensional ambitwistor string theory.
The latter is used to derive scattering equations representation for reggeon
amplitudes with multiple reggeized gluons present. It is shown, that
corresponding tree-level string correlation function correctly reproduces
previously obtained Grassmannian integral representation of reggeon amplitudes
in N=4 SYM.Comment: 18 page
