摘要：
New methods are introduced for evaluating tree-level gravitational scattering amplitudes. A new N=7 super-symmetric recursion yields amplitudes free from the spurious double poles of the N=8 theory. This is illustrated by a new nine-term expression for the six-graviton NMHV amplitude. The general scheme also implies a simplified recurrence relation for MHV amplitudes. We show how this relation is satisfied by a new expression for MHV amplitudes, far simpler than those hitherto identified, and exhibiting manifest Sn symmetry. This reformulation is related to a new momentum-twistor representation of the MHV amplitudes.
