Records from the S-Matrix Marathon: Asymptotic Observables
Simon Caron-Huot, Mathieu Giroux, Holmfridur S. Hannesdottir +2
These lectures introduce the notion of asymptotic observables, which are classes of measurable quantities predicted by quantum field theory. In gapped theories with trivial infrare…

Records from the S-Matrix Marathon: A Timeless History of Time
Mang Hei Gordon Lee, Enrico Pajer, Mathieu Giroux +3
By directly probing the initial conditions of our universe, cosmological surveys offer us a unique observational handle on quantum field theory in curved spacetime with dynamical g…

Records from the S-Matrix Marathon: Observables in Expanding Universes
Paolo Benincasa, Mathieu Giroux, Holmfridur S. Hannesdottir +3
Observables in expanding universes are crucial to understand the physics of the early universe. In these lectures, we review some recent progress in understanding their mathematica…
