Computer algebra for Quantum Field Theory
From 2007 on the group Computer algebra for Quantum Field Theory develops advanced and efficient computer algebra algorithms and applies them for large scale problems in particle physics. This long term project is carried out in
close and intensive cooperation with the theory group (Johannes
Blümlein) at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY Zeuthen, a research
centre of the German Helmholtz association). In this
interdisciplinary project we try to deal with challenging
problems in the field of particle physics and perturbative
quantum field theory with the help of our summation and integration
technologies. In particular, the interaction between the
RISC-DESY cooperation inspires new summation and special
function techniques that are also of interest for other
sciences and mathematical disciplines, like combinatorics,
number theory, or numerics.
The group is intimately connected with the combinatorics group at RISC which I honored to co-lead together with Peter Paule.
