"Combinatorics of Fundamental Physics" at IAS

The Combinatorics of Fundamental Physics Workshop was held successfully at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton from November 18-22, 2024.

Over eighty mathematicians and physicists attended the workshop where lively discussions were held on topics at the interface of the two subjects. Presenters gave stimulating talks on positive geometries, cosmological correlators, tropical moduli spaces, loop integrals, total positivity, and many other themes. A session was held where graduate students gave short talks on their work. The future looks bright for the fusion of combinatorics and physics.

The workshop was organized by the UNIVERSE+ Principal Investigators Nima Arkani-Hamed (IAS) and Bernd Sturmfels (MPI MiS) as well as by June Huh (Princeton University) and Thomas Lam (University of Michigan).
