Take a seat: The Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich hosts the event, with the aim of exchanging ideas in this flourishing field of research.
The workshop "Holonomic Techniques for Feynman Integrals" plans to advance the mathematical and physical understanding of Feynman integrals, which underpin computations for collider and gravitational observables in particle physics. It will bring together experts from both mathematics and physics to discuss latest results and to establish further connections between the two fields.
Some of the topics covered will be monodromy representations, singularities, differential and difference equations, Pfaffian systems, hypergeometric functions, cohomology intersection numbers, twisted cohomology, $s$-parametric annihilators, with an emphasis on applications for computations in QCD and gravity. The language of holonomic $D$-modules provides various tools to advance these topics, both the thorough study of fundamental properties, as well as the development of computational tools. We plan to have plenty of time for discussions and pay particular attention to enabling a lively exchange of ideas, as well as allowing early-career researchers to enter this flourishing field of research.
Location and Equipment
The workshop will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Physics on the Campus Garching north of Munich from October 14-18 2024. The conference room is equipped with blackboards and digital presentation technology.
Poster session
Early career researchers are strongly encouraged to apply for presenting a poster about their research. The poster walls have capacities for posters up to the size A0 (cm: 118 x 84, inches: 33.1 x 46.8). We recommend the poster size A0.
