abstract

We consider two aspects of scattering in strong plane wave backgrounds. First, we show that the infra-red divergences in elastic scattering depend on the structure of the background, but can be removed using the usual Bloch-Nordsieck approach. Second, we analyse the infinite series of shifted-mass-shell poles in the particle (Volkov) propagator using lightfront quantisation. The complete series of poles is shown to describe a single, on-shell, propagating particle.

Graviton scattering on self-dual black holes

hep-th · 2025-07-24 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Exact tree-level MHV graviton scattering amplitudes at arbitrary multiplicity are obtained on self-dual Taub-NUT backgrounds using twistor theory, including spin via Newman-Janis shift, with undeformed celestial symmetries.
