Amplitudes and AdS

• Applicant: Professorin Dr. Valentina Forini
• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 508889767

The goal of this project is to make substantial progress on the perturbative and non-perturbative analysis of correlators in AdS backgrounds, focusing on the simplest AdS2 case where certain string worldsheet effective theories, relevant in AdS/CFT, are defined. Our objectives are to develop tools for the higher-order Witten diagrammatics of these correlators, to investigate the integrable structures underlying them and to study the map to their significantly less studied dS counterpart.
