SUGRA as the Low Energy Effective Action of Matrix Theory: Three Form Scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We employ the LSZ reduction formula for Matrix Theory introduced in our earlier work to compute the t-pole S-matrix for three form–three form scattering. The result agrees completely with tree level D = 11 SUGRA. Taken together with previous results on graviton-graviton scattering this shows that Matrix Theory indeed reproduces the bosonic sector of the D = 11 SUGRA action including the Chern-Simons term. Furthermore we provide a detailed account of our framework along with the technology to compute any Matrix Theory one-loop t-pole scattering amplitude at vanishing p− exchange.

Three Graviton Scattering in M-Theory
The leading eikonal S-matrix for three graviton scattering in d = 11 supergravity and Matrix Theory are shown to precisely agree. The result unifies the source-probe plus recoil approach of Okawa and Yoneya and relaxes the restriction imposed by those authors that all D-particle impact parameters and velocities are mutually perpendicular. Furthermore, the unified S-matrix approach facilitates a...
متن کاملWhat is the Simplest Quantum Field Theory?
Conventional wisdom says that the simpler the Lagrangian of a theory the simpler its perturbation theory. An ever-increasing understanding of the structure of scattering amplitudes has however been pointing to the opposite conclusion. At tree level, the BCFW recursion relations that completely determine the S-matrix are valid not for scalar theories but for gauge theories and gravity, with grav...
متن کاملA remark on the AdS/CFT correspondence and the renormalization group flow
The correspondence between the four-dimensional SU(N), N = 4 SYM taken at large N and the type II B SUGRA on the AdS5 × S5 background is considered. We argue that the classical equations of motion in the SUGRA picture can be interpreted as that of the renormamization group on the SYM side. In fact, higher derivative terms in the field theory on the D3-brane world-volume deform it form the confo...
متن کاملScattering amplitudes for particles and strings in six-dimensional (2,0) theory
We study the scattering of low-energy tensor multiplet particles against a BPS saturated cosmic string. We show that the corresponding S-matrix is largely determined by symmetry considerations. We then apply a specific supersymmetric model of (2,0) theory and calculate the scattering amplitudes to lowest non-trivial order in perturbation theory. Our results are valid as long as the energy of th...

Multi-loop calculations of the effective action for the matrix model are important for carrying out tests of the conjectured relationship of the matrix model to the low energy description of M-theory. In particular, comparison with N -graviton scattering amplitudes in eleven-dimensional supergravity requires the calculation of the effective action for the matrix model with gauge group SU(N). A ...
