Perturbative Quantum Gravity from Gauge Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk we give an overview of some recent developments in gauge and gravity theories, focusing on a new duality between color and kinematics. This duality allows us to construct gravity amplitudes by a simple replacement of color factors by kinematic numerator factors. Applications of these ideas for determining the ultraviolet compatibility of supersymmetric versions of Einstein gravity with quantum mechanics are explained.

Causal Quantum Gravity
I discuss some issues of perturbative quantum gravity, namely of a theory of self-interacting massless spin-2 quantum gauge fields, the gravitons, on flat space-time, in the framework of causal perturbation theory. The central aspects of this approach lie in the construction of the scattering matrix by means of causality and Poincaré covariance and in the analysis of the gauge structure of the ...
متن کاملFinite One-Loop Corrections and Perturbative Gauge Invariance in Quantum Gravity Coupled to Photon Fields
One-loop calculations in quantum gravity coupled to U(1)-Abelian fields (photon fields) are ultraviolet finite and cutoff-free in the framework of causal perturbation theory. We compute the photon loop correction to the graviton propagator and the photon self-energy in second order perturbation theory. Perturbative gauge invariance to second order is shown and generates the gravitational Slavno...

متن کاملPerturbative approach to the two-dimensional quantum gravity
The main part of this presentation is a review of the original works [14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] on the perturbative approach to the 2-dimensional quantum gravity. We discuss the renormalization of the two-dimensional dilaton gravity in a covariant gauge, the form of the quantum corrections to the classical potential, and the conditions of Weyl invariance in a theory of string coupled to 2d quantu...
متن کاملString-Based Methods in Perturbative Gravity
String theory implies a relatively modest growth in computational complexity for perturbative gravity calculations as compared to gauge theory calculations, contrary to field theory expectations. An explicit string-based calculation, which would be extremely difficult using conventional techniques, is presented to illustrate this. * Permanent address: Dept. of Physics, UCLA, LA, CA 90024
