Combinatorics of Fundamental Physics Workshop

November 18 - 22, 2024

Announcements:

• A luggage drop will be available beginning at 9:30am on Friday, November 22nd, in the Bloomberg Hall coat room area (across from Bloomberg Lecture Hall.) Please have a luggage tag with your name on it for your luggage to avoid mix-ups.
• REMINDER - Afternoon tea for all workshop participants is being held in Rubenstein Commons in the same location as the morning coffee break (not in Fuld Hall.)  Thank you!
• The daily lunch menu is available here: https://www.ias.edu/dining/lunch.  Note that lunch begins at 1:00pm in Simons Hall.

This event aims to foster collaboration between mathematicians and physicists. The focus will be on the intersection of combinatorial geometry and fundamental physics, covering topics like scattering and string amplitudes, positive geometry, Euler integrals, and tropical moduli spaces. This workshop is a part of the special year Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics.
