Using only general features of the S-matrix and quantum field theory, we prove by induction the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations that link products of gauge theory amplitudes to gravity amplitudes at tree level. As a bonus of our analysis, we…
We discuss nontrivial examples illustrating that perturbative gravity is in some sense the `square' of gauge theory. This statement can be made precise at tree-level using the Kawai, Lewellen and Tye relations between open and closed string…
We review some applications of tree-level (classical) relations between gravity and gauge theory that follow from string theory. Together with $D$-dimensional unitarity, these relations can be used to perturbatively quantize gravity…
The Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations derived from string theory tell us that perturbative gravity amplitudes are the "square" of the corresponding amplitudes in gauge theory. Starting from the light-cone Lagrangian for pure gravity we…
We discuss string theory relations between gravity and gauge theory tree amplitudes. Together with $D$-dimensional unitarity, these relations can be used to perturbatively quantize gravity theories, i.e. they contain the necessary…
In this review we describe a non-trivial relationship between perturbative gauge theory and gravity scattering amplitudes. At the semi-classical or tree level, the scattering amplitudes of gravity theories in flat space can be expressed as…
A previous study of the Kawai, Lewellen and Tye (KLT) relations between gravity and gauge theories, imposed by the relationship of closed and open strings, are here extended in the light of general relativity and Yang-Mills theory as…
We review the relations that have been found between multi-loop scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity, and their implications for ultraviolet divergences in supergravity.
We look at the various aspects of treating general relativity as a quantum theory. It is briefly studied how to consistently quantize general relativity as an effective field theory. A key achievement here is the long-range low-energy…
Using BCFW on-shell recursion techniques, we prove a sequence of explicit n-point Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations between gravity and Yang-Mills amplitudes at tree level.
Quantum theory of the gravitation in the causal approach is studied up to the second order of perturbation theory. We prove gauge invariance and renormalizability in the second order of perturbation theory for the pure gravity system…
A brief review of aspects of gravity gauge theory correspondance inspired by string theory is presented.
We consider the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) factorizations of gravity scalar-leg amplitudes into products of scalar-leg Yang-Mills amplitudes. We check and examine the factorizations at O(1) in $\alpha'$ and extend the analysis by considering…
The relationship between on-shell tree level scattering amplitudes of open and closed strings, discovered some time ago by Kawai, Lewellen and Tye, is used at field theory level (at $O(\alpha'^3)$) to establish a link between the general…
We study the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations for quantum field theory by reformulating it as an isomorphism between two Lie algebras. We also show how explicit formulas for KLT relations arise when studying rational functions on…
This is a review of some basic features on the relation between supergravity and pure gauge theories with special emphasis on the relation between T-duality and supersymmetry. Some new results concerning the interplay between T-duality and…
In the framework of causal perturbation theory we analyze the gauge structure of a massless self-interacting quantum tensor field. We look at this theory from a pure field theoretical point of view without assuming any geometrical aspect…
As in the case of the other gauge field theories, there is so called ``gauge'' also in general relativity. This ``gauge'' is unphysical degree of freedom. There are two kinds of ``gauges'' in general relativity. These are called the first-…
We fabricate gravitino vertex interactions using as only input on-shell Yang-Mills amplitudes and the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye gauge theory / gravity relations. A useful result of this analysis is simpler tree-level Feynman rules for gravitino…
The purpose of this Chapter is to give a general introduction and status review on the perturbative approach to quantum gravity (QG). This text is a modified version of the corresponding chapters of Part II of the recent textbook on quantum…
