Abstract
We compute graviton scattering amplitudes in M theory using Feynman rules for a scalar particle coupled to gravity in eleven dimensions. The processes that we consider describe the single graviton exchange and the double graviton exchange, that in M(atrix) theory correspond to the and term, respectively. We argue that the term appearing in M(atrix) theory at two loops can be obtained from the covariant eleven-dimensional four-graviton amplitude. Finally, we calculate the term appearing at two loops in M(atrix) theory. It has been previously conjectured that this term is related to a four graviton scattering amplitude involving the vertex of M theory.
