Title: Mathematical Structures of Scattering Amplitudes
Abstract: Planar N=4 Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes have been computed to very high loop order. They have many remarkable properties that have sparked interest from mathematicians working on combinatorics, algebraic geometry, and number theory. At the same time, several methods that have been developed for N=4 Yang-Mills can often be applied to more general quantum field theories, including QCD. I will overview some of these exciting developments.
