Abstract: "I will discuss recent work in collaboration with Kevin Costello (arXiv:2201.02595). We propose a new formula for computing certain form factors and scattering amplitudes in gauge theory in terms of correlation functions of a 2d chiral algebra. The chiral algebra that appears is closely related to one appearing in the celestial holography program. We explain the connection between the 4d amplitudes and 2d correlation functions via a 6d holomorphic theory on twistor space.”

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
