A particle physics approach to describing black hole interactions is opening new avenues for understanding gravitational-wave observations. In this talk, we will review this paradigm change showing how general relativity naturally emerges from scattering amplitudes. Applications for deriving solutions to Einstein field equations, the bending of light and waveforms - directly from quantum field theory […]
Primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly formed via gravitational collapse of large density perturbations in the very early universe, are one of the earliest proposed and viable dark matter (DM) candidates. PBHs can make up a large or even entirety of DM over a wide range of masses. Ultralight PBHs in the mass range of 10^{15} […]

L'organisation du Système Solaire et la description des mouvements qui le caractérisent ont constitué le cœur de l'astronomie pendant de siècles depuis l'antiquité. Cette science appelée Mécanique Céleste qui repose sur la théorie de la gravitation a connu son heure de gloire au XIXe siècle, avant de passer au second plan devant l'essor de l'astrophysique. […]
Abstract: We review recent advances in the calculation of the two-loop Feynman integrals which contribute to five-particle scattering amplitudes with one massive leg. These amplitudes are required to provide theoretical predictions for the three-particle production (two massless and one massive particle) at the next-to-next-to leading-order approximation. We will compare several analytic approaches to the problem […]
As the LHC accumulates data, the need grows for more efficient methods to compute scattering amplitudes. One such method manages to swap the difficult problem of integrating thousands of Feynman diagrams for a much simpler one: solving a system of linear equations. This can be done when there is a known "alphabet" of appropriate singularities […]
We will present a new approach to the problem of quantising integrable systems of differential-difference equations. The main idea is to lift these systems to systems defined on free associative algebras and look for the ideals there that are stabilized by the dynamics of the lifted systems. In a reasonable class of candidate ideals, there […]
