## Abstract

We study the behaviour of Yang-Mills and gravity amplitudes under the soft limit in the four-dimensional ambitwistor string formalism and derive their soft theorems to arbitrary order. For this purpose, we apply some mathematics. Methods of combinatorics are used for the expansion of $\delta$ functions, and knowledge of graph theory is used for the expansion of reduced determinants. Based on these preliminaries, we expand the formulas of Yang-Mills and gravity amplitudes about the soft parameter $\epsilon$, and obtain soft theorems to arbitrary order.
