Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theory as Chiral Algebra Correlators - Kevin Costello
Institute for Advanced Study via YouTube
Overview
This course aims to teach students how to derive expressions for form factors and scattering amplitudes of gauge theory as correlators of a chiral algebra. The individual skills taught include understanding the form factor integrand, theory on Twister Space, LEA Theory, Mode Algebra, Vacuum Module, Lambda tilde Momentum Modes, Conformal Blocks, and Amplitudes. The teaching method involves a seminar-style presentation by the instructor. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in high-energy theory and those familiar with advanced concepts in gauge theory and algebra.
