Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics: Cluster algebras and scattering amplitudes

SEMINARS: HARVARD-MIT COMBINATORICS

When: February 7, 2024
4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
Where: Science Center 232
Speaker: Marcus Spradlin - Brown University

In recent years fruitful connections between math and physics have emerged from the study of scattering amplitudes. I will review and put into context some key concepts from this exchange of ideas, involving cluster algebras, positive geometries, and the amplituhedron. I will highlight further physics-motivated conjectures that may provide fruitful avenues for continued exchange in the years to come.
