Gauge-Invariant Double-Copies via Recursion

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-07-07 v1

Abstract

We prove that all tree-level amplitudes in pure (super-)gravity can be expressed as term-wise, gauge-invariant double-copies of those of pure (super-)Yang-Mills obtained via BCFW recursion. These representations are far from unique: varying the recursive scheme leads to a wide variety of distinct, but equally valid representations of gravitational amplitudes, all realized as double-copies.
