Scattering Amplitudes for Gravitational Wave Theory
Four years ago, the LIGO/Virgo observation of a black-hole binary merger heralded the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy. The promise of future observations calls for an invigorated effort to underpin the theoretical framework and supply the predictions needed for detecting future signals and exploiting them for astronomical and astrophysical studies. Ampl2Einstein will take ideas and techniques from recent years' dramatic advances in Quantum Scattering Amplitudes, creating new tools for taking their classical limits and using it for gravitational physics. The powerful `square root' relation between gravity and a generalization of electrodynamics known as Yang--Mills theory will play a…
