Analyticity of the Black Hole S-Matrix

Explore the analytical properties of black hole scattering matrices in this 30-minute conference talk delivered at the QCD meets Gravity XI Conference. Delve into the mathematical framework governing black hole interactions through the lens of S-matrix theory, examining how analytical continuation and complex analysis apply to gravitational scattering processes. Learn about the theoretical foundations that connect quantum field theory techniques to black hole physics, with particular focus on the analytical structure of scattering amplitudes in curved spacetime. Gain insights into cutting-edge research at the intersection of quantum chromodynamics and general relativity, presented as part of ICTP-SAIFR's annual conference series bringing together experts in high-energy physics and gravitational theory.
