Gravitational dyonic amplitude at one-loop and its inconsistency with the classical impulse
Jung-Wook Kim, Myungbo Shim
Abstract
A bstract The recent proposal [1, 2] of implementing electric-magnetic duality rotation at the level of perturbative scattering amplitudes and its generalisation to gravitational context where usual gravitational mass is rotated to the NUT parameter of the Taub-NUT spacetime opens up an interesting avenue for studying NUT-charged objects as dynamical entities, in contrast to the usual approach where NUT-charged objects are considered as a static background. We extend the tree-order analysis to one-loop order, and find a disagreement between geodesic motion on Taub-NUT background and impulse computation of scattering amplitudes. As a by-product of our analysis, we find a relation between tidal response parameters and resonance excitation parameters in the language of quantum field theory scattering amplitudes.
