Cancellation of ultra-violet infinities in one loop gravity

چکیده
The diploma was in Russian, it was never published. Recently Faddeev found a reference to my result by an editor in Feynman’s lectures on gravitation [1] (the reference is on page xxxvii of the book). The scan of original diploma can be found in the first line of the webpage [2]. The result was obtained simultaneously with G. t’Hooft M. Veltman, see [3] . The translation of the diploma follows [17].

Gravity and Form Scattering and Renormalisation of Gravity in Six and Eight Dimensions
We calculate one-loop scattering amplitudes for gravitons and two-forms in dimensions greater than four. The string based Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relationships allow gravitons and two-forms to be treated in a unified manner. We use the results to determine the ultra-violet infinities present in these amplitudes and show how these determine the renormalised one-loop action in six and eight dimensions...
متن کاملUltra-Violet Infinities and Counterterms in Higher Dimensional Yang-Mills
In this letter we investigate the ultra-violet behaviour of four-point one-loop gluon amplitudes in dimensions greater than four coupled to various particles types. We discuss the structure of the counterterms and their inherent symmetries. 1Research supported by PPARC
متن کاملRecovering Infinities in Graviton Scattering Amplitudes using Cutkosky rules
We use the Cutkosky rules as a tool for determining the infinities present in graviton scattering amplitudes. We are able to confirm theoretical derivations of counterterms in Einstein-Maxwell theory and to determine new results in the Dirac-Einstein counterLagrangian. † email: [email protected] One of the central issues in perturbative quantum gravity [1] and supergravity [2] is that of ...
متن کاملExplicit Cancellation of Triangles in One-loop Gravity Amplitudes
We analyse one-loop graviton amplitudes in the field theory limit of a genus-one string theory computation. The considered amplitudes can be dimensionally reduced to lower dimensions preserving maximal supersymmetry. The particular case of the one-loop fivegraviton amplitude is worked out in detail and explicitly features no triangle contributions. Based on a recursive form of the one-loop ampl...
متن کاملInfinities within Graviton Scattering Amplitudes
We present unitarity as a method for determining the infinities present in graviton scattering amplitudes. The infinities are a combination of IR and UV. By understanding the soft singularities we may extract the UV infinities and relate these to counter-terms in the effective action. As an demonstration of this method we rederive the UV infinities present at one-loop when gravity is coupled to...
