Factorization and polarization in linearized gravity.
We investigate all the four-body graviton interaction processes: gX → γX, gX → gX, and gg → gg with X as an elementary particle of spin less than two in the context of linearized gravity except the spin-3/2 case. We show explicitly that gravitational gauge invariance and Lorentz invariance cause every four-body graviton scattering amplitude to be factorized. We explore the implications of this ...
متن کاملLinearized Gravity in Brane Backgrounds
Abstract A treatment of linearized gravity is given in the Randall-Sundrum background. The graviton propagator is found in terms of the scalar propagator, for which an explicit integral expression is provided. This reduces to the four-dimensional propagator at long distances along the brane, and provides estimates of subleading corrections. Asymptotics of the propagator off the brane yields exp...
متن کاملLecture VIII: Linearized gravity
We are now ready to consider the solutions of GR for the case of weak gravitational fields. This encompasses Newtonian gravity, as well as a few extensions thereof. In addition to its importance in e.g. the solar system, our study of linearized gravity will prepare us for the discussion of some of the weak-field experimental tests of GR (Lecture XI). It will also illustrate some of the issues t...
متن کاملDuality in linearized gravity and holography
We consider spherical gravitational perturbations of AdS4 space-time satisfying general boundary conditions at spatial infinity. Using the holographic renormalization method, we compute the energy-momentum tensor and show that it can always be cast in the form of Cotton tensor for a dual boundary metric. In particular, axial and polar perturbations obeying the same boundary conditions for the e...
متن کاملS-duality for Linearized Gravity
We develope the analogue of S-duality for linearized gravity in (3+1)-dimensions. Our basic idea is to consider the self-dual (anti-self-dual) curvature tensor for linearized gravity in the context of the Macdowell-Mansouri formalism. We find that the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity is an exact symmetry and implies small-large duality for the cosmological constant. Pacs numb...
