A panoramic view of infrared singularitiesChris White (Glasgow)Event Date: Thu 10 May 2012, 14:15 Abstract: The study of infrared singularities remains a highly active research area in a variety of quantum field theories, and has a number of phenomenological and formal applications. After motivating why we should care about IR singularities, this talk will review their structure in QED, QCD and quantum gravity, and examine the similarities and differences between these three contexts. Furthermore, recently presented methods for examining singularities in Anti-de-Sitter space will be discussed, revealing an intriguing continuous relation between the IR singularities of QED and quantum gravity.
