abstract

This essay's title is justified by discussing a class of Yang-Mills-type theories of which standard Yang-Mills theories are special cases but which is broad enough to include gravity as a double field theory. We use the framework of homotopy algebras, where conventional Yang-Mills theory is the tensor product ${\cal K}\otimes \frak{g}$ of a `kinematic' algebra ${\cal K}$ with a color Lie algebra $\frak{g}$. The larger class of Yang-Mills-type theories are given by the tensor product of ${\cal K}$ with more general Lie-type algebras of which ${\cal K}$ itself is an example, up to anomalies that can be cancelled for the tensor product with a second copy $\bar{\cal K}$. Gravity is then given by ${\cal K}\otimes \bar{\cal K}$.

  1. The Double Copy of Maximal Supersymmetry in $D=4$

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    N=8 supergravity to cubic order is realized as the off-shell double copy of N=4 super Yang-Mills, with N=8 supersymmetry and SU(8) R-symmetry emerging from the two gauge factors.

  2. Off-shell double copy theories in BV

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A BV-formalism construction gives off-shell double-copy actions for Chern-Simons, BF, and 2D Yang-Mills theories, with Kodaira-Spencer and Kähler gravity as natural examples.

  3. HEFT Numerators from Kinematic Algebra

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The heavy-mass effective field theory kinematic numerators are derived as the field theory limit of nested commutators of string vertex operators, reproducing and extending earlier fusion-rule results.
