Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate that the factorizations for tree amplitudes in the double-cover framework, for various theories, can be generated from the gravity amplitude in the double-cover prescription. Using our method, the factorized formulae for amplitudes of Yang-Mills theory, special Yang-Mills-scalar theory, and bi-adjoint scalar theory, have been derived. The differential operators indicate some non-trivial relationships among factorizations for above theories, as can be understood through four angles which are factorization channels, pole-structures, gauge choices, as well as BCFW recursions.
