Mathematica Summer School 2011

COVID-19 information for PI Residents and Visitors

Conference Date: 
Sunday, July 31, 2011 (All day) to Saturday, August 6, 2011 (All day)
Scientific Areas: 
Quantum Fields and Strings

 

The goal of the school is to bring together theoretical physicists of all levels who want to learn both Mathematica and a selected advanced research topic in theoretical physics. This year the topic of the school will be scattering amplitudes. Theory and applied lectures take place during the morning. During the afternoon there will be problem solving sessions. Simultaneously, the Exact Results in Gauge/Gravity Dualities program will start running.

Aspects of the Generalized Unitarity Method

The generalized unitarity method reconstructs loop-level scattering amplitudes from tree-level scattering amplitudes. We review some of the steps of this method which are necessary for applications in any quantum field theory, discuss several points of view and emphasize some of the aspects that can be easily automated.

We mainly use N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory to illustrate the discussion and comment on the necessary changes for applications to super-Yang-Mills theories with reduced supersymmetry.
