AI-assisted recursion and formulas for single-minus graviton amplitudes

Guevara, Lupsasca, Skinner, Strominger and Weil report nonzero tree-level single-minus graviton amplitudes at half-collinear kinematics, solving a recursion as a sum over trees and obtaining a product of soft factors in a restricted decay region.

Sources for this record

What was already known

The earlier gluon calculation concerns Yang–Mills theory. This paper derives the corresponding gravity recursion and solution; the generic-kinematics vanishing argument does not cover its special configurations.

What changed and why it matters

Extends a special-kinematics amplitude calculation to gravity with a new recursion and general solution. This is a distinct gravity result related to the gluon paper.

The AI contribution

The authors credit GPT-5.2 Pro and an internal OpenAI model with significant roles throughout the project. The source does not allocate every derivation step between the models and the human researchers.

Limitations

Applies in Klein space or with complexified momenta. The Ward-identity conclusion also needs analyticity assumptions. This is not a proof of quantum gravity or an experimental detection. AIProofWatch has not independently checked the argument.

Verification evidence

Evidence labels show what supports the claim. Importance rates its impact if correct.

Author claim

The authors report the gravity recursion, tree-sum solution and restricted product formula.

Accessible artifact / proof

Accessible derivation and explicit AI disclosure; no independent check asserted here.
