A Current Algebra For Some Gauge Theory Amplitudes, V. Parameswaran Nair Nov 1988

A Current Algebra For Some Gauge Theory Amplitudes, V. Parameswaran Nair

Publications and Research

The classical amplitude for scattering of two positive helicity and n-2 negative helicity (or the other way) gauge bosons is shown to be generated by a Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model for N= 4 supersymmetric gauge theory; i.e. the current algebra of the WZW model (with central charge k= 1 ) gives a Kac-Moody algebra as the symmetry behind these amplitudes.

Multi Gluon Scattering: A String Based Calculation, David Kosower, Bum-Hoon Lee, V. Parameswaran Nair

Publications and Research

We suggest the use of open bosonic string theory to compute multigluon scattering in QCD, since gauge invariance ,cyclic symmetry etc. are manifest in this approach. The method is illustrated by the computation of five gluon scattering.
