J2.00001: Recent Results in Perturbative QCD Invited Speaker: The search for and interpretation of new physics at the LHC and other experiments requires significant theoretical input. Otherwise, uncertainties from Standard Model backgrounds can mask potentially revolutionary advances in our understanding of Nature. In this talk we review recent breakthroughs in techniques for precision QCD calculations that will be crucial in interpreting experimental data during the era of discovery ahead. [Preview Abstract] |

J2.00002: Strongly Coupled Theories: Applications of AdS/CFT Correspondence Invited Speaker: I give an overview of recent new ideas in strongly coupled theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. This will include composite higgs and higgsless theories, and the status of the AdS/QCD correspondence. [Preview Abstract] |

J2.00003: Dual Formulation of the S-Matrix of Super-Yang-Mills (and perhaps of Gravity) Invited Speaker: In the past few years, new techniques for the evaluation of scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity have been introduced. The new forms of the amplitudes have hinted properties that are not manifest in their Feynman diagram presentation. For maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills a unified description has been found in what seems to provide a dual formulation of the S-matrix. The dual formulation of scattering amplitudes is defined on a mathematical space called the Grassmannian. Quite surprisingly, local space-time physics is encoded in the topology of the Grassmannian. In this talk, I will summarize what is known about the Grassmannian theory and discuss the prospects for a Grassmannian theory of N=8 supergravity. [Preview Abstract] |
