Combinatorics of quantum field theory
EF 2017-18
Résumé
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.
