Three-point Functions in Duality-Invariant Higher-Derivative Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-06-08 v3

Abstract

Doubled α\alpha'-geometry is the simplest higher-derivative gravitational theory with exact global duality symmetry. We use the double metric formulation of this theory to compute on-shell three-point functions to all orders in α\alpha'. A simple pattern emerges when comparing with the analogous bosonic and heterotic three-point functions. As in these theories, the amplitudes factorize. The theory has no Gauss-Bonnet term, but contains a Riemann-cubed interaction to second order in α\alpha'.
