The S-matrix program
This course will cover recent developments in the field of scattering amplitudes, or the S-matrix, which at the basic level describes interactions between elementary particles and contains a rich mathematical structure. It will start with an introduction to traditional approaches to amplitudes, based on Quantum Field Theory and Feynman diagrams, and move to the modern bootstrap program where physical principles are the unique input. This latter approach reveals surprising simplicity in scattering amplitudes, hinting towards a novel structure of QFT that was previously hidden.

讲师介绍
Laurentiu Rodina obtained his PhD from Princeton University, under the supervision of Nima Arkani-Hamed. He was a postdoctoral fellow at CEA Saclay-Paris and National Taiwan University, and a Marie Curie Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. He joined BIMSA as assistant professor in 2023. His research is focused on bootstrap approaches in QFT and CFT: describing the space of theories consistent with fundamental physical principles.
