IAS Physics Group Meeting

Trees, Self Dual Gravity, Gravity MHV Amplitudes, Lw1+infinity
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.11139 . In this talk we'll explain how self-dual metrics (which correspond to spacetimes containing only positive helicity gravitons) can be written as a sum over connected "tree" diagrams, which are...

Special Year Seminar I

The Mysterious Kronecker Coefficients
11:00am|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

The Kronecker coefficients of the Symmetric group $S_n$ are the multiplicities of an irreducible $S_n$ representation in the tensor product of two other irreducibles. They were introduced in 1938 by Murnaghan and generalize the beloved Littlewood...

Amplitudes and Combinatorics Synergy Event

10:00am|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

Summary: This event aims to foster collaboration between combinatorialists and amplitudologists in two ways: first by bridging language and concept barriers, and second by highlighting open problems of mutual interest.
