M-theory and automorphic scattering

preprint2002arXivOpen access

Abstract

The strongly coupled limit of string scattering and the automorphic construction of the graviton S-matrix is compared with the eleven dimensional formulation of M-theory. In a particular scaling limit at strong string coupling, M-theory is described by eleven-dimensional supergravity which does not possess a dilaton, but rather a perturbative expansion in the gravitational coupling and derivatives. The latter theory provides an off-shell description of the string, upon dimensional reduction.
