MHV-Vertices for Gravity Amplitudes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v3

Abstract

We obtain a CSW-style formalism for calculating graviton scattering amplitudes and prove its validity through the use of a special type of BCFW-like parameter shift. The procedure is illustrated with explicit examples.
