AI Article Synopsis

  • The authors propose a duality between color and kinematics in gauge-theory amplitudes that potentially extends to all quantum loop orders, suggesting that gravity amplitudes can be derived from gauge-theory amplitudes.
  • They demonstrate this duality by successfully analyzing the three-loop four-point amplitude of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, leading to the corresponding amplitude for N=8 supergravity.
  • Additionally, they mention a test involving a nonsupersymmetric two-loop scenario using pure Yang-Mills theory, which results in gravity interacting with an antisymmetric tensor and dilaton.

Article Abstract

In a previous paper we observed that (classical) tree-level gauge-theory amplitudes can be rearranged to display a duality between color and kinematics. Once this is imposed, gravity amplitudes are obtained using two copies of gauge-theory diagram numerators. Here we conjecture that this duality persists to all quantum loop orders and can thus be used to obtain multiloop gravity amplitudes easily from gauge-theory ones. As a nontrivial test, we show that the three-loop four-point amplitude of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory can be arranged into a form satisfying the duality, and by taking double copies of the diagram numerators we obtain the corresponding amplitude of N=8 supergravity. We also remark on a nonsupersymmetric two-loop test based on pure Yang-Mills theory resulting in gravity coupled to an antisymmetric tensor and dilaton.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medicine, Inha University, Incheon 22332, Republic of Korea.

Gravitational changes have been shown to cause significant abnormalities in various body systems, including the cardiovascular, immune, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. While numerous studies have examined the response of the vestibular system to gravitational stimulation, research on functional changes in the peripheral inner ear remains limited. The inner ear comprises two closely related structures: the vestibule and cochlea.

Attenuation of progressive surface gravity waves by floating spheres.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, 2628 CD, Delft, The Netherlands.

Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the attenuation of progressive deep-water waves by a mono-layer of loose- and close-packed floating spheres. We measured the decay distance of waves having different incident wave frequency and steepness. The attenuation of waves was strong if the surface concentration of particles was close-packed, with the decay distance being shorter for incident waves with higher frequency and steepness.
