Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation

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.
