I will review some recent developments in massive higher-spin theory, namely, Zinoviev's massive gauge symmetry and the new chiral-field approach. I will discuss the applications of massive higher-spin scattering amplitudes to classical gravitational dynamics of rotating black holes, in particular, the so-called gravitational Compton amplitude.

报告人简介

Alexander Ochirov is a theoretical physicist working on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory and their applications to classical physics, such as gravitational dynamics of black holes. He obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees with distinction from St Petersburg State University, Russia. He did his doctoral research at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of CEA Saclay and received his PhD from Ecole Polytechnique. Before his assistant professorship at ShanghaiTech University, he worked as a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh, ETH Zurich, Oxford University and the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences. He is known for his work on the color-kinematics duality in quantum chromodynamics and for using higher-spin gravitational amplitudes to model rotating black holes.
