Abstract:

I will review a number of geometric approaches to understanding properties of scattering amplitudes. In particular we will discuss the relation of the geometry of the kinematical space to the analytic behaviour of amplitudes as functions on this space. Our focus will be on massless scattering amplitudes with N=4 super Yang-Mills theory as a guiding example, where cluster algebras of Grassmannian spaces play a central role.
