This happens due to the presence of fundamental matter. 2. Using holographic techniques, found evidence for the Cardy conjecture (c-theorems) in arbitrary dimensions. The 4d theorem called the a-theorem was proven after our work. Gave a novel interpre- tation of the monotonic quantity in an RG flow in odd dimensions in terms of entanglement entropy. Subsequently this conjecture in 3d was proved by Casini and Huerta. 3. Found evidence using path integral techniques that the deviation from the naive application of the superposition principle in slit based interference experiments due to winding paths around slits can be big enough to be measured. This was a focus article in Physical Review Letters. Subsequently, these paths have been experimentally detected. 4. Found evidence for universality of anomalous dimensions for operators with large spin and large twist in conformal field theories using bootstrap techniques. 5. Developed a new method to do conformal bootstrap which uses Witten diagrams. This method reproduces old results of the Wilson-Fisher epsilon expansion of critical exponents and produces new analytic results that are unavailable using conventional techniques including Feynman diagrams. arXiv:1609.00572 appeared in PRL.

    Grassmannian Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-08658-6 - Grassmannian Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes Nima Arkani-Hamed, Jacob Bourjaily, Freddy Cachazo, Alexander Goncharov, Alexander Postnikov and Jaroslav Trnka Frontmatter More information GRASSMANNIAN GEOMETRY OF SCATTERING AMPLITUDES Outlining a revolutionary reformulation of the foundations of perturbative quantum field theory, this book is a self-contained and authoritative analysis of the application of this new formulation to the case of planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The book begins by deriving connections between scattering amplitudes and Grassmannian geometry from first principles before introducing novel physical and mathematical ideas in a systematic manner accessible to both physicists and mathematicians. The principle players in this process are on-shell functions which are closely related to certain sub-strata of Grassmannian manifolds called positroids—in terms of which the classification of on-shell functions and their relations becomes combinatorially manifest. This is an essential introduction to the geometry and combinatorics of the positroid stratification of the Grassmannian and an ideal text for advanced students and researchers working in the areas of field theory, high energy physics, and the broader fields of mathematical physics. Nima Arkani-Hamed is Professor of Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, USA. Jacob Bourjaily is Assistant Professor of Physics at the Niels Bohr International Academy and Discovery Center at the University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.

It is an autonomous institute fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Till October 10, 2000 the Institute was known as Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI) after which it was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the internationally acclaimed mathematician, late Prof Harish-Chandra. The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period in January 1983, Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institutes fu- ture. In 1985 N. D. Tiwari, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, agreed to provide sufficient land for the Institute and the DAE promised financial sup- port for meeting both the recurring and non-recurring expenditure.

Narain3 The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. Abstract We study gravitational corrections to the effective superpotential in theories with a single adjoint chiral multiplet, using the generalized Konishi anomaly and the gravitationally deformed chiral ring. We show that the genus one correction to the loop equation in the corresponding matrix model agrees with the gravitational corrected anomaly equations in the gauge theory. An important ingrediant in the proof is the lack of factorization of chiral gauge invariant operators in presence of a supergravity background. We also find a genus zero gravitational correction to the superpotential, which can be removed by a field redefinition.

Yet traditional methods of computing amplitudes in empirically relevant theories scale with a factorial complexity in external particles and precision. If we aspire to collapse the theoretical uncertainty obscuring new physics hidden at all scales|from the microscopic region probed at high energy colliders, to the effective field theory governing the evolution of large scale cosmological structure|this complexity challenge necessitates new ideas and methods in calculation.
