The KLT relations in unimodular gravity

The KLT relations in unimodular gravity

Here we initiate a systematic study of some of the symmetry properties of unimodular gravity, building on much of the known structure of general relativity, and utilizing the powerful technology developed in that context, such as the spinor helicity formal-ism. In particular, we show, up to five-poi...
