Positive helicity Einstein-Yang-Mills amplitudes from the Double Copy

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-02-20 v3

Abstract

All positive helicity four-point gluon-graviton amplitudes in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory coupled to a dilaton and axion field are computed at the leading one-loop order using colour-kinematics duality. In particular, all relevant contributions in the gravitational and gauge coupling are established. This extends a previous generalized unitarity based computation beyond the leading terms in the gravitational coupling κ\kappa. The resulting purely rational expressions take very compact forms. The previously seen vanishing of the single-graviton-three-gluon amplitude at leading order in κ\kappa is seen to be lifted at order κ3\kappa^{3}.
