[seminar] Podsjetnik: 14.02.2017. u 11.00 Clay James Grewcoe (Twinning Lectures Livia Ferro, 15 - 17 February 2017)

[RBI- T-WINNING]

Poštovani,

U nastavku najavljujemo nova predavanja serije *Twinning Lectures
<http://rbi-t-winning.irb.hr/index.php?title=Lectures>*, koja se održavaju
kao dio aktivnosti u sklopu projekta RBI-T-WINNING
<http://rbi-t-winning.irb.hr/index.php?title=RBI-T-WINNING> financiranog
kroz program HORIZON 2020 - Coordination and support action - Spreading
Excellence, Widening Participation.

Sa zadovoljstvom najavljujemo dolazak Prof. Dr. Livie Ferro sa
Ludwig-Maximilians Universität iz Münchena koja će održati tri predavanja
na temu *Geometric Formulation for Scattering Amplitudes*.

Sažetak:
In these lectures I will give an overview of novel formulations for
scattering amplitudes. In particular, I will focus on maximally
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (MSYM) in four dimensions and discuss the
Grassmannian and amplituhedron formalisms, addressing mainly tree-level
amplitudes. The first lecture is an introductory review of the basics which
are necessary for the general understanding of the topic. In the second
lecture, I will introduce the Grassmannian formulation and explain its
properties. The last lecture will focus on the amplituhedron, a novel
mathematical object whose volume is conjectured to compute scattering
amplitudes in the planar limit of MSYM.

Uvodna predavanja koja pokrivaju dio potrebnog predznanja održat će Bruno
Klajn (PMF) i Clay James Grewcoe (IRB).

Dear all,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that *Twinning Lectures series
<http://rbi-t-winning.irb.hr/index.php?title=Lectures>* continues with
lectures from Prof. Dr. Livia Ferro (Ludwig-Maximilians Universität,
Munich) on *Geometric Formulation for Scattering Amplitudes*.

Abstract:
In these lectures I will give an overview of novel formulations for
scattering amplitudes. In particular, I will focus on maximally
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (MSYM) in four dimensions and discuss the
Grassmannian and amplituhedron formalisms, addressing mainly tree-level
amplitudes. The first lecture is an introductory review of the basics which
are necessary for the general understanding of the topic. In the second
lecture, I will introduce the Grassmannian formulation and explain its
properties. The last lecture will focus on the amplituhedron, a novel
mathematical object whose volume is conjectured to compute scattering
amplitudes in the planar limit of MSYM.

The introduction giving background information about the topic will be
given by Bruno Klajn (PMF) and Clay James Grewcoe (RBI).

Lectures schedule:
B. Klajn: Spinor-helicity and unitarity methods, Monday 13 February 11
a.m., Lecture hall, Ivan Supek Wing, RBI
