扭量空间中的散射振幅和BCFW递推

Scattering Amplitudes and BCFW Recursion in Twistor Space

Lionel Mason, David Skinner

摘要:

扭转的想法导致了一些最近的进展,我们的理解散射振幅。大部分工作是间接的,通过检查动量空间中的振幅来确定散射振幅的扭量空间支持。在本文中,我们构造实际的扭振散射振幅本身。我们表明,递归关系的Britto,Cachazo,冯和威滕有一个自然的扭量制定,连同三点种子振幅,使我们能够递归地构建一般树振幅扭量空间。我们得到了$n$ -粒子MHV和NMHV超振幅、它们的CPT共轭(在我们的手征框架中,它们的表示是不同的)以及八粒子N^2 MHV超振幅的显式公式。我们还给出了N=8超引力递推公式和MHV振幅及共轭MHV振幅的简单封闭形式公式。这给出了超共形对称性及其破缺明显的最大超对称理论中的散射振幅公式。对于N^kMHV,振幅由$n-k-2$的乘积的希尔伯特变换形式的2n-4积分给出,该乘积是由某些符号算子修饰的纯几何的、超共形不变的扭量δ函数。这些符号算子巧妙地违反了共形不变性,即使是在N=4的超级杨米尔斯的树级振幅,我们追踪其起源分裂签名时空的拓扑性质。我们开发的扭量变换与我们的工作的ambiacius扭量图的方法霍奇斯和Arkani哈米德,Cachazo,张和卡普兰。

英文摘要:

Twistor ideas have led to a number of recent advances in our understanding of scattering amplitudes. Much of this work has been indirect, determining the twistor space support of scattering amplitudes by examining the amplitudes in momentum space. In this paper, we construct the actual twistor scattering amplitudes themselves. We show that the recursion relations of Britto, Cachazo, Feng and Witten have a natural twistor formulation that, together with the three-point seed amplitudes, allows us to recursively construct general tree amplitudes in twistor space. We obtain explicit formulae for $n$-particle MHV and NMHV super-amplitudes, their CPT conjugates (whose representations are distinct in our chiral framework), and the eight particle N^2MHV super-amplitude. We also give simple closed form formulae for the N=8 supergravity recursion and the MHV and conjugate MHV amplitudes. This gives a formulation of scattering amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric theories in which superconformal symmetry and its breaking is manifest. For N^kMHV, the amplitudes are given by 2n-4 integrals in the form of Hilbert transforms of a product of $n-k-2$ purely geometric, superconformally invariant twistor delta functions, dressed by certain sign operators. These sign operators subtly violate conformal invariance, even for tree-level amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills, and we trace their origin to a topological property of split signature space-time. We develop the twistor transform to relate our work to the ambidextrous twistor diagram approach of Hodges and of Arkani-Hamed, Cachazo, Cheung and Kaplan.
