Title: Correlation functions on the lattice and twisted cocycles
Abstract: Due to recent criticism about talks on gravitational waves I will give a talk about correlation functions in a scalar theory. To make things worse we will do this on the lattice. We will use IBP reduction and differential equations to calculate the correlation functions.
Speaker: Roman Stemplowski
Title: Romansplaining loops, episode 1: the phantom menace
Abstract: In this talk, I will begin by explaining mathematical definitions behind the concept of Wilson lines in gauge theory using the analogy with GR. On the second half of the talk, we will try to make more precise the idea that gauge theories can be formulated entirely using Wilson loops. Baby level warning!
