We present new results on different aspects of quantum field theory, which are divided into three main parts. In part I, we find and prove a new behavior of massless tree-level scattering amplitudes, including the biadjoint scalar theory, the U(N) non-linear sigma model, and the special Galileon, within specific subspaces of the kinematic space. We also derive new formulas for the double-ordered biadjoint scalar and $\phi^p$ amplitudes, which can be obtained as integrals over the positive tropical Grassmannian and under limiting procedures on the kinematic invariants. This reveals surprising connections with cubic amplitudes. We also present alternative versions of the …
