Twistors and Pertubative Gravity Summary Review of Perturbative Gravity KLT approach Recursive approach MHV vertex approach Loops N=8, 1-loop comparison with gravity beyond one-loop Conclusions Perturbative Quantum Gravity Feynman diagram approach to quantum gravity is extremely complicated Gravity = (Yang-Mills)2 Feynman diagrams for Yang-Mills = horrible mess How do we deal with (horrible mess)2 Kawai-Lewellen-Tye Relations Double-Poles Naively, products of Yang-Mills amplitudes would contain double poles A(1,2,3,4,5)xA(2,1,3,4,5) Cancelled by momentum prefact
