چکیده

Perturbative Quantization of Gravity Theories
We discuss relations between gravity and gauge theory tree amplitudes that follow from string theory. Together with D-dimensional unitarity, these relations can be used to perturbatively quantize gravity theories, i.e. they contain the necessary information for calculating complete gravity S-matrices to any loop orders. This leads to a practical method for computing non-trivial gravity S-matrix...
متن کاملPerturbative Relationships between Qcd and Gravity and Some Implications
We discuss nontrivial examples illustrating that perturbative gravity is in some sense the ‘square’ of gauge theory. This statement can be made precise at tree-level using the Kawai, Lewellen and Tye relations between open and closed string tree amplitudes. These relations, when combined with modern methods for computing amplitudes, allow us to obtain loop-level relations, and thereby new super...
متن کاملPerturbative Gravity from QCD Amplitudes
We demonstrate that QCD gluon amplitudes can be used to construct a Lagrangian for gravity. This procedure makes use of perturbative ‘squaring’ relations between gravity and gauge theory that follow from string theory. We explicitly carry out the construction for up to five-point interactions and discuss a set of field variables in the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for interpreting the Lagrangian...

The Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations derived from string theory tell us that perturbative gravity amplitudes are the “square” of the corresponding amplitudes in gauge theory. Starting from the light-cone Lagrangian for pure gravity we make these relations manifest off-shell, for threeand four-graviton vertices, at the level of the action.
متن کاملRelational Observables in Gravity: a Review
We present an overview on relational observables in gravity mainly from a loop quantum gravity perspective. The gauge group of general relativity is the diffeomorphism group of the underlying manifold. Consequently, general relativity is a totally constrained theory with vanishing canonical Hamiltonian. This fact, often referred to as the problem of time, provides the main conceptual difficulty...
