Perturbative Relations between Gravity and Gauge Theory
We review the relations that have been found between multi-loop scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity, and their implications for ultraviolet divergences in supergravity.

متن کاملGravity and Gauge Theory∗
Gauge theories are theories that are invariant under a characteristic group of gauge transformations. General relativity is invariant under transformations of the diffeomorphism group. This has prompted many philosophers and physicists to treat general relativity as a gauge theory, and diffeomorphisms as gauge transformations. I argue that this approach is misguided. The theories of three of ...
متن کاملString Theory and Gravity*
It is pointed out that string-loop effects may generate matter couplings for the dilaton allowing this scalar partner of the tensorial graviton to stay massless while contributing to macroscopic gravity in a way naturally compatible with existing experimental data. Under a certain assumption of universality of the dilaton coupling functions (possibly realized through a discrete symmetry such as...
متن کاملSome relations between twisted K-theory and E8 gauge theory
Recently, Diaconescu, Moore and Witten provided a nontrivial link between K-theory and M-theory, by deriving the partition function of the Ramond-Ramond fields of Type IIA string theory from an E8 gauge theory in eleven dimensions. We give some relations between twisted K-theory and M-theory by adapting the method of [1], [2]. In particular, we construct the twisted K-theory torus which defines...
متن کاملGauge Theory and Gerbes in String Theory
The reduction of the E8 gauge theory to ten dimensions leads to a loop group, which in relation to twisted K-theory has a Dixmier-Douady class identified with the Neveu-Schwarz H-field. We give an interpretation of the degree two part of the etaform by comparing the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant with the one loop term in type IIA. More generally, starting with a G-bundle, the comparison ...
