Gravitational scattering of massless scalars in QFT and superstring theory

preprint2005arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we perform the calculation of the gravitational scattering amplitude for 4 massless scalars in quantum field theory and Type II superstring theory. We show that the results agree, providing an example of how gravity is incorporated in the superstring theory. During the calculation we quantize gravitational action to derive graviton propagator and interaction vertex with massless scalar. We also calculate general 3-point and 4-point scattering amplitudes in SST for open and closed massless strings in NS sector.
