Mass Corrections to Flavor-Changing Fermion-Graviton Vertices in the Standard Model
In a previous study, the flavor-changing fermion-graviton interactions have
been analyzed in the framework of the standard model, where analytical results
for the relevant form factors were obtained at the leading order in the
external fermion masses. These interactions arise at one-loop level by the
charged electroweak corrections to the fermion-graviton vertex, when the
off-diagonal flavor transitions in the corresponding charged weak currents are
taken into account. Due to the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor, the
corresponding form factors turn out to be finite and gauge invariant when
external fermions are on-shell. Here we extend this previous analysis by
including the exact dependence on the external fermion masses. Complete
analytical results are provided for all the relevant form factors to the
flavor-changing fermion-graviton transitions.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figure
