Gravity as the square of Yang-Mills: implications for N=8 Supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-24 v1

Abstract

The pure gravity Lagrangian can be written as the "square" of the pure Yang-Mills Lagrangian to second order in coupling constants. This paper uses this form of the gravity Lagrangian as a starting point to arrive at a compact light-cone superspace Lagrangian for N=8 Supergravity to order κ\kappa^2.
