Combinatorics of quantum field theory
FY 2018-19
Summary
This research program seeks to understand quantum field theory using a combinatorial *aesthetic and toolbox and to develop new combinatorial and physical tools that lead to *new insights. The program provides new approaches for understanding Feynman *integrals and how they are put together into series which calculate physical *observables. Consequently it has the potential to lead to significant advances in how *we understand the building blocks which make up our world. The work of the program *centers on two main foci: the graph theory of Feynman periods and the recursive *combinatorics of Dyson-Schwinger equations.
