HIgher Polylogarithms and String AMplitudes

Project description

New insights into the mathematics of vibrating strings that may make up our universe

String theory supports the idea that the fundamental particles of our universe are not really particles but tiny vibrating strings. Superstring scattering amplitudes describe the interaction of physical states and are critical to determination of physical observables. The study of superstring scattering amplitudes involves cutting-edge mathematics and has led to the discovery of new mathematical structures. The EU-funded HIPSAM project will advance our understanding of superstring amplitudes with potential applications to both the field of mathematics in general and quantum field theory and particle accelerator experiments.
