"One possibility that comes to mind is that the spin-two graviton might arise as a composite of two spin-one gauge bosons. This interesting idea would seem to be rigorously excluded by a no-go theorem of Weinberg & Witten ... The Weinberg–Witten theorem appears to assume nothing more than the existence of a Lorentz-covariant energy momentum tensor, which indeed holds in gauge theory. The theorem does forbid a wide range of possibilities, but (as with several other beautiful and powerful no-go theorems) it has at least one hidden assumption that seems so trivial as to escape notice, but which later developments show to be unnecessary. The crucial assumption here is that the graviton moves in the same spacetime as the gauge bosons of which it is made!"
