Bound-state gravity from higher derivatives
Kiyoung Lee, Warren Siegel (CNYITP, Stony Brook)
TL;DR
This paper explores how higher-derivative field theories with spins ≤ 1 can lead to bound-state supergravity in ten dimensions, drawing parallels with open string theory and addressing infrared divergence phenomena.
Contribution
It demonstrates a connection between higher-derivative gauge theories and bound-state supergravity, highlighting the role of infrared divergences and supersymmetry in this relationship.
Findings
Higher-derivative theories produce color-singlet poles as infrared divergences.
Absence of higher-order poles indicates a link to ten-dimensional supergravity.
The results draw an analogy with open string theory mechanisms.
Abstract
In certain Lorentz-covariant higher-derivative field theories of spins < or =1, would-be ultraviolet divergences generate color-singlet poles as infrared divergences. Absence of higher-order poles implies ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills with bound-state supergravity, in close analogy with open string theory.
