Supergravity and matrix theory do not disagree on multi-graviton scattering

چکیده
We compare the amplitudes for the long-distance scattering of three gravitons in eleven dimensional supergravity and matrix theory at finite N . We show that the leading supergravity term arises from loop contributions to the matrix theory effective action that are not required to vanish by supersymmetry. We evaluate in detail one type of diagram—the setting sun with only massive propagators—reproducing the supergravity behavior.

Short Distance Contributions to Graviton-Graviton Scattering: Matrix Theory versus Supergravity
We study graviton scattering in the presence of higher dimensional operators – particularly, R4 – arising from loop effects. We find that the results do not correspond to any known terms in the effective action of Matrix Theory, thus lending support to the idea that the finite N Matrix Theory has no simple relation to supergravity with large compactification radii. 1 Work supported in part by a...
متن کاملGraviton scattering in matrix theory and supergravity
I briefly review recent work on the comparison between two and three graviton scattering in supergravity and matrix theory 1 Motivations In the low-energy regime, M-theory is D = 11, N = 1 supergravity. In the matrix model the fundamental degrees of freedom of M-theory are 0-branes (that is, Derichlet particles). For this model to be a correct description of M-theory, it must then reproduce sup...
متن کاملTree Level Supergravity and the Matrix Model
It has recently been shown that the Matrix model and supergravity give the same predictions for three graviton scattering. This contradicts an earlier claim in the literature. We explain the error in this earlier work, and go on to show that certain terms in the n-graviton scattering amplitude involving v are given correctly by the Matrix model. The Matrix model also generates certain v terms i...
متن کاملAbout the Matrix model computation of three-graviton scattering
It is briefly explained why recent claims about the vanishing of the one-loop effective potential in Matrix theory, thus invalidating the possible agreement with supergravity, do not hold.
متن کاملThe Matrix Theory S – Matrix Jan
The technology required for eikonal scattering amplitude calculations in Matrix theory is developed. Using the entire supersymmetric completion of the v/r Matrix theory potential we compute the graviton–graviton scattering amplitude and find agreement with eleven dimensional supergravity at tree level.
