Amplitudes 2012
During the last few years the analytic study of scattering amplitudes has flourished due to a vivid interaction between high energy physics, mathematics and string theory. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together leading experts working on novel methods for scattering amplitudes in perturbative gauge and gravity theories, reaching from formal developments to phenomenological applications. Progress was reviewed and promising developments were discussed in this highly energetic field. Hopefully, further development was inspired. The topics discussed included, but were not limited to:
* Integrals and integrands of perturbative quantum field theories at high loop orders
* Strong coupling analysis using gauge/gravity dualities
* Scattering amplitudes in (super)gravity and their ultra-violet behaviour
* Further analytic S-matrix inspired developments
Where possible, the talks of the speakers have been placed online.
