Abstract:
Recently, powerful computational tools and remarkable new structures for perturbative scattering amplitudes in QFT have been discovered. Apart from playing a central role in high-energy particle physics, these developments have important implications for formal QFT, string theory and mathematics. I will review some recent progress, focusing on a new formulation of scattering of gluons, gravitons and their connections, as well as new geometries underlying QFT and strings which may hint at a ``theory at infinity” for their S-matrices.
