Graviton scattering amplitudes and Pure Connection Formulation of GR

We show how the recently introduced ``Pure Connection Formulation'' of gravity provides a natural framework for approaching the problem of computing graviton scattering amplitudes. In particular, we show that the interaction vertices are greatly simplified in this formalism as compared t...
