Abstract

KLT relations on S2S_2 factorize closed string amplitudes into product of open string tree amplitudes. The field theory limits of KLT factorization relations hold in minimal coupling theory of gauge field and gravity. In this paper, we consider the field theory limits of relations on D2D_2. Though the relations on D2D_2 and KLT factorization relations hold on worldsheets with different topologies, we find the field theory limits of D2D_2 relations also hold in minimal coupling theory of gauge field and gravity. We use the D2D_2 relations to give three- and four-point tree amplitudes where gluons are minimally coupled to gravitons. We also give a discussion on general tree amplitudes for minimal coupling of gauge field and gravity. In general, any tree amplitude with MM gravitons in addition to NN gluons can be given by pure-gluon tree amplitudes with N+2MN+2M legs.
