Workshop
Lecture
E1 05 (Leibniz-Saal)
Abstract
Recent developments in the physics of scattering amplitudes has led to the new field of positive geometry. We will discuss positive geometries appearing in projective space, Grassmannians, moduli spaces of rational curves, and various configuration spaces. The focus of the lecture series will be on the algebro-geometric aspects of positive geometries, together with hints of the relations to phi^3-amplitudes, super Yang-Mills amplitudes, and string theory amplitudes.
