Difusión QCD meets Gravity XI Conference
Pedro Jorge Martinez
Over the last decades, new correspondences have been discovered between Yang-Mills theory and gravity including a duality between color and kinematics and the double-copy prescription relating Yang-Mills and graviton amplitudes. Furthermore, the computation of scattering amplitudes has been a growing field which, in addition to the usual particle physics applications, has shown that the knowledge of scattering amplitude methods is very useful in the investigation of classical gravitational physics.
The ‘QCD meets Gravity’ conference brings together researchers to discuss formal aspects and applications of Yang-Mills theory, gravity, and the connections between them. Over the last years, it has become the main annual event in the field and the 2025 conference at Principia Institute, organized by ICTP-SAIFR, will be the first time the conference will be held in South America. The conference will be preceded by the ‘QCD Meets Gravity’ School. You can find information on the previous QCD meets Gravity events here: QCD Meets Gravity X (Taiwan 2024), IX (CERN 2023),VIII (Zurich 2022), VII (UCLA 2021), VI (Northwestern 2020), V (UCLA 2019), IV (2018), III (UCLA 2017), II (UCLA 2016), I (Edinburgh 2016)
