Conference “Amplitudes 2015”

Description

During the last few years the analytic study of scattering amplitudes has flourished due to a vivid interaction between high energy physics and mathematics. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading experts working on novel methods for scattering amplitudes in perturbative gauge theory, gravity theories and string theory, reaching from formal developments to phenomenological applications. We intend to review progress and discuss promising developments in this highly energetic and versatile field. Thereby, we hope to inspire further development.

The topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:

Mathematical structure of scattering amplitudes
Integrals and integrands of perturbative quantum field theories
Scattering amplitudes in (super)gravity and their ultra-violet behaviour
Gauge/gravity dualities, AdS/CFT integrability, Wilson loops and strong-coupling results
String amplitudes and their implications for field theory
Developments related to the analytic S-matrix approach
