The structure of interaction vertices in pure gravity in the light-cone gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-02-08 v1

Abstract

The first truly non-MHV interaction vertices in the light-cone formulation of pure gravity appear at order 6. From a closed form expression, for gravitation in the light-cone gauge, we extract and present all 6-point interaction vertices. We invoke symmetry arguments to explain the structure of these vertices. Symmetry considerations also allow us to place constraints on the structure of all even- and odd-point vertices in the theory. The origin of MHV vertices within this formalism is also discussed.
