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 prefactors s34 s12 Factorisation structure not manifest Crossing Symmetric although not manifest Twistor Structure Of Gravity Amplitudes Look for Twistor inspired formalism Not obvious such formalism exist (conformal gravity..) Can we examine twistor structure by action of differential operators? Collinearity of MHV amplitudes For Yang-Mills FijkAn=0 trivially This implies MHV amplitudes have collinear support when transforming to a function in twistor space Independence upon implies has a ? function Gravity MHV amplitudes For Gravity Mn is polynomial in with degree (2n-6), eg Consequently In fact….. Upon transforming M has a derivative of ? function support MHV amplitudes have suppport on line only Coplanarity Coplanarity-MHV vertices Recursion Relations Return of the analytic S-matrix! Shift amplitude so it is a complex function of z Recursion for Gravity Gravity, seems to satisfy the conditions to use recursion relations Allows (re)calculation of MHV gravity tree amps Expression for six-point NMHV tree MHV-vertex construction Works for gluon scattering tree amplitudes Works for (massless) quarks Works for Higgs and W’s Works for photons Works for gravity……. -problem for gravity Need the correct off-shell continuation Proved to be difficult Resolution involves continuing the of the negative helicity legs The ri are
