Welcome

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

Gravitational Self-Force and Scattering Amplitudes

Recent developments in scattering amplitudes have given new insights into the classical two-body dynamics in the post-Minkowskian expansion (i.e., expansion in Newton's constant), leveraging extremely efficient computational techniques traditionally used for collider physics. At the same time, the gravitational self-force expansion has allowed the gravitational-wave community to develop ...

New Frontiers in Landau Analysis

The last few years have seen a renewed interest in the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes. One of the consequences has been a revival of old methods from the S-matrix program of the sixties, which can now be coupled with our deeper understanding of the types of functions that appear ...
