abstract

Britto, Cachazo and Feng have recently derived a recursion relation for tree-level scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills. This relation has a bilinear structure inherited from factorisation on multi-particle poles of the scattering amplitudes - a rather generic feature of field theory. Motivated by this, we propose a new recursion relation for scattering amplitudes of gravitons at tree level. Using this recursion relation, we derive a new general formula for the MHV tree-level scattering amplitude for n gravitons. Finally, we comment on the existence of recursion relations in general field theories.

Perturbiner multi-particle solutions of classical field equations generate Berends–Giele currents and tree-level amplitudes across scalars, gauge theory, gravity, NLSM, AdS, and one-loop integrands, including several unpublished recursions.
