Join us for a Special Mathematics Colloquium delivered by Professor Bernd Sturmfels (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig).

Title: On lines and particles

Abstract:
Momentum twistors in particle physics are lines in 3-space. We explain how
this works and what it means for configurations of lines. Algebraic geometry
provides a common language for line incidences, rigidity theory of graphs,
and Feynman integrals for scattering amplitudes.
