Loop Variable Inequalities in Gravity and Gauge Theory
We point out an incompleteness of formulations of gravitational and gauge theories that use traces of holonomies around closed curves as their basic variables. It is shown that in general such loop variables have to satisfy certain inequalities if they are to give a description equivalent to the usual one in terms of local gauge potentials.
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 کاملMulti-Leg One-Loop Gravity Amplitudes from Gauge Theory
By exploiting relations between gravity and gauge theories, we present two in nite sequences of one-loop n-graviton scattering amplitudes: the `maximally helicity-violating' amplitudes in N = 8 supergravity, and the `all-plus' helicity amplitudes in gravity with any minimally coupled massless matter content. The all-plus amplitudes correspond to self-dual eld con gurations and vanish in supersy...
متن کاملGauge Theory of Gravity
The quantum gravity is formulated based on principle of local gauge invariance. The model discussed in this paper has local gravitational gauge symmetry and gravitational field appears as gauge field. The problems on quantization and renormalization of the theory are also discussed in this paper. In leading order approximation, the gravitational gauge field theory gives out classical Newton’s t...
متن کاملGauge Theory Loop Operators and Liouville Theory
We propose a correspondence between loop operators in a family of four dimensional N = 2 gauge theories on S4 – including Wilson, ’t Hooft and dyonic operators – and Liouville theory loop operators on a Riemann surface. This extends the beautiful relation between the partition function of these N = 2 gauge theories and Liouville correlators found by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa. We show that th...
