Aspects of Scattering Amplitudes and Moduli Space Localization
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-19)We propose that intersection numbers of certain cohomology classes on the moduli space of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with $n$ punctures, $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$, compute tree-level scattering amplitudes in quantum field ... -
Bootstrapping Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-23)This thesis compiles a few developments on the S-matrix bootstrap, conformal field theory, and integrability in N = 4 SYM. After an introduction contextualizing the various works that compose this thesis, we present a ... -
Explorations in the Conformal Bootstrap
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-19)We investigate properties of various conformally invariant quantum systems, especially from the point of view of the conformal bootstrap. First, we study twist line defects in three-dimensional conformal field theories. ... -
The S-Matrix of Gauge and Gravity Theories and The Two-Black Hole Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-01)This thesis is devoted to diverse aspects of scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity including interactions with matter particles. In Part I we focus on the applications of massive scattering amplitudes in gravity ...
