Calculation of Graviton Scattering Amplitudes using String-Based Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
Techniques based upon the string organisation of amplitudes may be used to simplify field theory calculations. We apply these techniques to perturbative gravity and calculate all one-loop amplitudes for four-graviton scattering with arbitrary internal particle content. Decomposing the amplitudes into contributions arising from supersymmetric multiplets greatly simplifies these calculations. We also discuss how unitarity may be used to constrain the amplitudes. Address after Sept. 1, 1994: University College of Swansea, UK.

Infrared behavior of graviton-graviton scattering
The quantum effective theory of general relativity, independent of the eventual full theory at high energy, expresses graviton-graviton scattering at one loop order O ( E4 ) with only one parameter, Newton’s constant. Dunbar and Norridge have calculated the one loop amplitude using string based techniques. We complete the calculation by showing that the 1 d−4 divergence which remains in their r...
متن کاملSimilarity between Kaluza-Klein and Open-string amplitudes in Diphoton Production
We calculate the tree-level open-string amplitudes for the scattering of four massless particles with diphoton final states. These amplitudes are required to reproduce those of standard model at the tree level in the low energy limit. After low energy stringy corrections, we found that they have similar form to the same processes induced by exchange of the Kaluza-Klein(KK) excitations of gravit...
متن کاملQuantization and Scattering in the IIB SL(2, Z) Covariant Superstring
We rewrite the SL(2, Z) covariant worldsheet action for the IIB string proposed by Townsend in a Polyakov form. In a flat background the formalism yields separate (p, q) sectors. In each one the action is that of the IIB string action with the string slope parameter α replaced by its SL(2, Z) analogue α pq. SL(2, Z) invariant graviton scattering amplitudes are obtained from those of the fundame...
متن کاملReflecting Magnon Bound States
In N = 4 super Yang-Mills spin chain, we compute reflection amplitudes of magnon bound-state off giant graviton. We first compute the reflection amplitude off Y = 0 brane boundary and compare it with the scattering amplitude between two magnon bound-states in the bulk. We find that analytic structure of the two amplitudes are intimately related each other: the boundary reflection amplitude is a...
متن کاملGraviton Physics
The interactions of gravitons with matter are calculated in parallel with the familiar photon case. It is shown that graviton scattering amplitudes can be factorized into a product of familiar electromagnetic forms, and cross sections for various reactions are straightforwardly evaluated using helicity methods.
