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 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 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 are still learning intriguing new facets of the string theory motivated Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations linking products of amplitudes in Yang-Mills theories and amplitudes in gravity. This is very clearly displayed in computations of…
We present the complete map of any pair of super Yang-Mills theories to supergravity theories as dictated by the KLT relations in four dimensions. Symmetries and the full set of associated vanishing identities are derived. A graphical…
We consider two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories on arbitrary Riemann surfaces. We introduce a generalized Yang-Mills action, which coincides with the ordinary one on flat surfaces but differs from it in its coupling to two-dimensional…
We revisit an old idea that gravity can be unified with Yang-Mills theory by enlarging the gauge group of gravity formulated as gauge theory. Our starting point is an action that describes a generally covariant gauge theory for a group G.…
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…
Two dimensional gauge theories with charged matter fields are useful toy models for studying gauge theory dynamics, and in particular for studying the duality of large $N$ gauge theories to perturbative string theories. A useful starting…
It is well known that by using the infinite dimensional symmetries that issue from string theories, one can build 2D geometric field theories. These 2D field theories can be identified with gravitational and gauge anomalies that arise in…
We propose a generalization of Yang-Mills theory for which the symmetry algebra does not have to be factorized as mutually commuting algebras of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and the algebra of functions on base space. The algebra of…
An intersection of Yang-Mills theory with the gauge description of general relativity is considered. This intersection has its origin in a generalized algebra, where the generators of the SO(3,1) group as gauge group of general relativity…
A Yang-Mills type gauge theory of gravity is shown to have a structure richer than that of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. By elevating the full connections to independent dynamical gauge fields, the theory admits non-trivial…
This review is dedicated to the amazing Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations, connecting perturbative gravity and gauge theories at tree level. The main focus is on n-point derivations and general properties both from a string theory and pure field…
In this work we use constructs from the dual space of the semi-direct product of the Virasoro algebra and the affine Lie algebra of a circle to write a theory of gravitation which is a natural analogue of Yang-Mills theory. The theory…
The Yang-Mills theory associated with the restricted Lorentz group is revisited as a candidate for a theory of gravity. This is a natural idea because the principle of equivalence of gravitation and inertia suggests to introduce locally…
The loop representation of quantum gravity has many formal resemblances to a background-free string theory. In fact, its origins lie in attempts to treat the string theory of hadrons as an approximation to QCD, in which the strings…
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…
This report provides a geometrical Yang-Mills theory, including gravity. The theory treats the space-time symmetry of the local Lorentz group in the same manner as the internal gauge symmetry. We extend this general relativistic Yang-Mills…
