چکیده
Recent progress in the computation of one-loop gluon amplitudes is reviewed. These methods were originally derived from superstring theory and are significantly more efficient than conventional Feynman rules. With these methods, explicit computations can be performed beyond those achieved by traditional methods. Abstract Recent progress in the computation of one-loop gluon amplitudes is reviewed.

String-Based Methods in Perturbative Gravity
String theory implies a relatively modest growth in computational complexity for perturbative gravity calculations as compared to gauge theory calculations, contrary to field theory expectations. An explicit string-based calculation, which would be extremely difficult using conventional techniques, is presented to illustrate this. * Permanent address: Dept. of Physics, UCLA, LA, CA 90024
متن کاملPerturbative 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 Quantum Gravity and its Relation to Gauge Theory
In this review we describe a non-trivial relationship between perturbative gauge theory and gravity scattering amplitudes. At the semi-classical or tree-level, the scattering amplitudes of gravity theories in flat space can be expressed as a sum of products of well defined pieces of gauge theory amplitudes. These relationships were first discovered by Kawai, Lewellen, and Tye in the context of ...
متن کاملRandom Graph Gauge Theories as Toy Models for Non-perturbative String Theories
We present simple models which exhibit some of the remarkable features expected to hold for the yet unknown non-perturbative formulation of string theories. Among these are (1) the absence of a background or embedding space for the full theory, (2) perturbative ground states (local minima of the action) having the characteristics of spaces of different dimension, (3) duality transformations bet...
متن کاملGauge Theories from Orientifolds and Large N Limit
Extending the recent work in [1], we consider string perturbative expansion in the presence of D-branes and orientifold planes imbedded in orbifolded space-time. In the α → 0 limit the weak coupling string perturbative expansion maps to ‘t Hooft’s large N expansion. We focus on four dimensional N = 1, 2, 4 supersymmetric theories, and also discuss possible extensions to N = 0 cases. Utilizing t...
