In association with Amplitudes 2022, we are hosting a summer school for interested students on related topics. It is not compulsory to register for both events, though we encourage students to do so. The school takes place a week before the conference, with suggested arrival on Monday, August 1, the lectures starting on Tuesday till Saturday with Sunday as a free or departure day. There is no registration fee for the school, but participants will have to arrange their travel expenses, accommodation, and per diem. We will make a reservation for several rooms in the nearby student hostel. More information soon.
Confirmed list of speakers & topics:
- Jaroslav Trnka (UC Davis): Introduction to amplitudes I (spinor-helicity, factorizations, generalized unitarity)
- Shruti Paranjape (UC Davis): Introduction to amplitudes II (BCFW recursion, soft theorems, CHY formalism)
- Nima Arkani-Hamed (IAS Princeton): Positive geometry, Amplituhedron, Associahedron, Surfacehedra
- Zvi Bern (UCLA): Gravity amplitudes, application of amplitudes methods to gravitational waves
- Jacob Bourjaily (Penn State University): Positive Grassmannian, on-shell diagrams
- Lance J. Dixon (SLAC): Symbols and polylogarithms, hexagon bootstrap
- Johannes Henn (Max-Planck-Institut Munich): Loop integration methods, differential equations
- Henrik Johansson (Uppsala University): Color-kinematics duality, KLT and double-copy
Updated 25/7: only one week to the start of school. The list of participants was made public. Please check your name and the list of speakers at the gong show.
