Dear all,

We are back to our usual time with a talk by Aninda Sinha of IISc, Bangalore. 

Next week (on Oct 10), we will have a follow-up talk by Hjalmar Rosengren on the topic: String amplitudes and partial fractions: A mathematician's perspective. The formal announcement will be made on the weekend. But please mark your calendars. 

Talk Announcement: 

Title:  Field theory expansions of string theory amplitudes

Speaker:  Aninda Sinha (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore)
When: Oct 3, 2024, 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM IST 

Where: Zoom:

Abstract:

This talk is based on: Phys. Rev. Lett. 132 (2024) 22, 221601 (e-print: 2401.05733 [hep-th])

I will explain the reasons (both physics and maths) for trying to find a new formula, satisfying certain physics inspired criteria, for the Euler-Beta and related functions. I will give a sketch of the derivation which relies on a novel dispersion relation. Towards the end, time permitting, new results from the Bootstrap will be presented. 

Best wishes,

Gaurav Bhatnagar, Atul Dixit and Krishnan Rajkumar (organisers)
