A Note on Graviton Amplitudes for New Twistor String Theories

V. P. Nair

A new class of twistor string theories were recently constructed by Abou-Zeid, Hull and Mason. The most interesting one of these theories has the particle content of N=8 supergravi…

Concerning Hidden Momentum

Timothy H. Boyer

The fact that the author of an excellent textbook on electromagnetism could be duped by "hidden momentum" vividly illustrates the problematic nature of its use.
