The partonic structure of hadrons plays an important role in a vast array of high-energy and nuclear physics experiments. It also underpins the theoretical understanding of hadron structure. Recent developments in lattice QCD offer new…
These are partial lecture notes from the fifteen Ess\'en Lectures for graduate students at Uppsala University given (in four days!) in June 2013.
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophysics and Cosmology" topical group summary for the Theory…
This article surveys modularity, level raising and level lowering questions for two-dimensional representations modulo prime powers of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers. It contributes some new results and describes…
We show some new applications of on-shell methods to calculate compact helicity amplitudes for t tbar production through gluon fusion. The rational and mass renormalisation contributions are extracted from two independent Feynman diagram…
A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of…
Single and multi-band (Burt-Foreman) k.p Hamiltonians for GaAs crystal phase quantum dots are developed and used to assess ongoing experimental activity on the role of such factors as quantum confinement, spontaneous polarization, valence…
In the first part of this paper we try to explain to a general mathematical audience some of the remarkable web of conjectures linking representations of Galois groups with algebraic geometry, complex analysis and discrete subgroups of Lie…
We propose an extension of the Schwinger parametric representation for Feynman amplitudes in $D$ euclidean dimensions to a scenario where $d$ dimensions are compactified ($d<D$) through the introduction of periodic boundary conditions in…
This is an informal set of lecture notes on moduli spaces of curves based on a set of lectures given at the ICTP last summer. It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal…
This review paper discusses the identification of regions, a crucial first step in applying the "method-of-regions" technique. A systematic approach based on Newton polytope geometry has proven successful and efficient for many cases.…
The mechanism(s) driving the early- and late-time accelerated expansion of the Universe represent one of the most compelling mysteries in fundamental physics today. The path to understanding the causes of early- and late-time acceleration…
Algorithm of constructing Feynman amplitudes in the framework of minimal supersymmetic extension of the standard model is presented, which can be easily implemented in GRACE, the program of automatic generation of Feynman amplitudes. The…

In characteristic 0 there are essentially two approaches to the conjectural theory of mixed motives, one due to Nori and the other one due to, independently, Hanamura, Levine, and Voevodsky. Although these approaches are apriori quite…
We show in this paper how to construct Symanzik polynomials and the Schwinger parametric representation of Feynman amplitudes for gauge theories in an unspecified covariant gauge. The complete Mellin representation of such amplitudes is…
Processes involving electroweak vector bosons in association with jets are crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider. Accurate predictions for the process $pp\rightarrow V(\rightarrow\bar\ell\ell)jj$…
Summary talk at ICHEP 2002, Amsterdam, July 2002. I have kept very close to the content and style of the talk as it was delivered. You may access the associated PowerPoint presentation through a link at…
Dimensionally-regulated Feynman integrals are a cornerstone of all perturbative computations in quantum field theory. They are known to exhibit a rich mathematical structure, which has led to the development of powerful new techniques for…
The general lines of the derivation and the main properties of the master equations for the master amplitudes associated to a given Feynman graph are recalled. Some results for the 2-loop self-mass graph with 4 propagators are then…
