POSITIVE GEOMETRY: mini workshop @ TUM
Bernd Sturmfels is organising a mini-workshop at the TU München on the theme of Positve Geometry. The workshop takes place on Monday, 23rd January 2023 from 16:00 - 18:00 in Lecture Theatre 3 of the Department of Mathematics - all are welcome to attend.

Abstract
There are strong indications from physics at both infinitesimal and cosmic distances that our current understanding of the laws of nature is only approximate, and must be replaced by deeper principles. Novel geometric objects, in the setting of amplituhedra and Feynman integrals, hint at new mathematical structures. Combinatorics and algebraic geometry have been connected to particle physics and cosmology in an entirely unexpected way. This seminar is an invitation to join the discussion.
