Loop soups in 2 + epsilon dimensions
Prof. Pierre-François Rodriguez
(University of Cambridge )
Abstract
The talk will be about a natural percolation model built from the so-called Brownian loop soup. We will give sense to studying its phase transition in dimension d = 2 + epsilon, with epsilon varying in [0,1], and discuss how to perform a rigorous „epsilon-expansion“ in this context. Our methods give access to a whole family of universality classes, and elucidate the behaviour of critical exponents etc. near the (lower-)critical dimension, which for this model is d=2.
Based on joint work with Wen Zhang.

Positive Geometry and Canonical Forms
Catherine Notman
Abstract
In recent years an unexpected connection has been found between polytopes in complex projective varieties and the physics of scattering amplitudes. In this talk I will discuss the Grassmannian generalisation of simplexes and polytopes, called positive geometries, and their associated canonical forms. Adding a generalised idea of convexity results in the Amplituhedron, whose canonical form exactly corresponds to scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory.
