Tree Level Recursion Relations In General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, tree-level recursion relations for scattering amplitudes of gluons in YangMills theory have been derived. In this note we propose a generalization of the recursion relations to tree-level scattering amplitudes of gravitons. We use the relations to derive new simple formulae for all amplitudes up to six gravitons. In particular, we present an explicit formula for the six graviton non-MHV amplitude. We prove the relations for MHV and next-to-MHV n-graviton amplitudes and for all eight-graviton amplitudes.

A Recursion Relation for Gravity Amplitudes
Britto, Cachazo and Feng have recently derived a recursion relation for tree-level scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills. This relation has a bilinear structure inherited from factorisation on multi-particle poles of the scattering amplitudes – a rather generic feature of field theory. Motivated by this, we propose a new recursion relation for scattering amplitudes of gravitons at tree level. Usi...
متن کاملRecursion Relations for Tree Amplitudes in Super Gauge Theories
Using newly proposed recursion relations in [25, 26], compact formulas are obtained for tree-level amplitudes of g− 1 g − 2 g − 3 g + 4 g + 5 · · · g + n . We then make an extension of these recursion relations to include fermions of multi-flavors, from which MHV and MHV amplitudes are reproduced. We also calculate non-MHV amplitudes of processes with two fermions and four gluons. Results thus ...
متن کاملSeven parton amplitudes from recursion relations
We present the first calculation of two-quark and five-gluon tree amplitudes using on-shell recursion relations. These amplitudes are needed for tree level 5-jet cross-section and an essential ingredient for next-to-leading order 4-jet and next-to-next-to-leading order 3-jet production at hadronic colliders. Very compact expressions for all possible helicity configurations are provided, allowin...
متن کاملQCD recursion relations from the largest time equation
We show how by reassembling the tree level gluon Feynman diagrams in a convenient gauge, space-cone, we can explicitly derive the BCFW recursion relations. Moreover, the proof of the gluon recursion relations hinges on an identity in momentum space which we show to be nothing but the Fourier transform of the largest time equation. Our approach lends itself to natural generalizations to include ...
متن کاملNew Recursion Relations for Tree Amplitudes of Gluons
We present new recursion relations for tree amplitudes in gauge theory that give very compact formulas. Our relations give any tree amplitude as a sum over terms constructed from products of two amplitudes of fewer particles multiplied by a Feynman propagator. The two amplitudes in each term are physical, in the sense that all particles are on-shell and momentum conservation is preserved. This ...
