"Exploring Positive Geometry" at Les Houches

The UNIVERSE+ School's "Exploring Positive Geometry" program at the Les Houches School of Physics brought together early-career researchers and leading experts for an intensive exploration of mathematics, cosmology, and theoretical physics.

From the first lectures to the final presentations, participants explored different facets of positive geometries, discovered the “four flavors of geometry,” developed an understanding of cosmological correlators, as well as investigated the hidden geometry of scattering amplitudes. However, what made this an outstanding experience was the continuous exchange among participants and lecturers—discussions extending beyond the lecture hall, spontaneous conversations during breaks, and collaborative work in small groups.

Highlights included outdoor lectures by Nima Arkani-Hamed and Carolina Figueiredo, the Gong Show, and final working group presentations where participants shared their ideas and results.

The program featured lectures by:
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Daniel Baumann, Louise Carvalho (special session), Clément Dupont, Claudia Fevola, Carolina Figueiredo, Johannes Henn, Guilherme Pimentel, and Bernd Sturmfels.

Thank you to all the participants and lecturers who contributed to two weeks of insightful discussions and a truly inspiring atmosphere.
