Perturbative soft graviton theorems in de Sitter spacetime
arXiv:2502.03481 · doi:10.1007/JHEP12(2025)008
Abstract
We consider soft graviton scattering for a theory where Einstein's gravity is minimally coupled to a scalar field in the presence of a cosmological constant, i.e. in a background de Sitter space. Employing a perturbative expansion in a small cosmological constant, we compute leading, subleading and sub-subleading corrections to Weinberg's soft graviton amplitude for the tree-level scatterings in the static patch of de Sitter space. We observe similar universal features of the soft graviton amplitude as found in [JHEP10(2023)055] for the soft photons.
