Feynman diagrams Modern methods use both: Calculate the amplitude directly Use perturbation theory Unique object fixed by physical properties Lesson from Parke-Taylor: On-shell gauge invariant objects Helicity amplitudes An,k k = 2 : e.g n Parke-Taylor formula

19 New formulation of QFT Big goal: find a new formulation of QFT where the picture of interacting particles in spacetime, locality and unitarity is replaced by other principles Hopefully it would make calculation easier Deep motivation comes from gravity: difficult to incorporate gravity in QFT We have one example now: Amplituhedron

24 Amplituhedron (Arkani-Hamed, JT 2013) All tree-level amplitudes of gluons Volume = scattering amplitude Position of vertices: energies and spins of particles

27 Amplituhedron (Arkani-Hamed, JT 2013) Loop amplitudes of gluons: can not do in QCD yet Toy model for QCD: planar N=4 super Yang-Mills It is a 4d interacting theory with hidden symmetry Analogue to integrable models: Kepler problem and Hydrogen atom Analogue of Runge-Lenz vector: dual conformal symmetry
28 Amplituhedron (Arkani-Hamed, JT 2013) Calculating amplitude is reduced to the math problem Calculate volume of certain geometric object Triangulation provides an expansion (e.g. Feynman diagrams) Can not derive Amplituhedron from QFT We can prove that the volume function satisfies all properties of scattering amplitudes: factorization etc. In this very specific case we achieved the goal of finding a new definition for the scattering amplitude
29 Step in the program Maybe this is very special and no reformulation exists in general, maybe it exists but it is something else Right/wrong: analyze theoretical data, look for new structures, make proposals and check them Step-by-step process, all steps require new ideas Masses, quarks Establish as an efficient Loop amplitudes in QCD Standard model computational tool Correlation functions Resummation, beyond perturbation theory
