Event details
We describe the leading and sub-leading multi-soft behavior of tree level gluon amplitudes and an underlying two-dimensional description of such scenarios where the soft limits are currents related to asymptotic symmetries of YM theory. Such kinematic limits allow us to explore the algebra of these two dimensional currents and we comment on their CFT interpretation.
About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
