Workshop: Meeting at the Extremes

May 18 - 22, 2026

Physics is fun at the extremes. This program will bring together experts working on a range of extreme limits in quantum field theory and string theory, such as large multiplicity limits of scattering amplitudes and energy-energy correlators, high genus limits of string theory, and resurgence. By bringing together researchers with multiple backgrounds, the program will foster exchanges of ideas and look for opportunities to extend established methods, like those in matrix models and conventional perturbation theory, to tackle new problems at the extremes.
