Lecture Series on "New Approaches to Feynman Integrals"
Abstract: Feynman integrals are the backbone of all higher-order calculations in perturbative quantum field theory. They are not only of formal interest, but they are also key to
performing precise calculations for experiments. In these lecture we review some recent developments in the understanding of the mathematics underlying Feynman integrals. We focus in
particular on tools inspired from modern number theory and the theory of motivic periods, which have been instrumental in some of the most advanced computations for experiments in
collider physics.

- The Current Status of Non-Empirical Confirmation
- Zoom meeting
Abstract: Non-empirical and meta-empirical confirmation were initially proposed as concepts for understanding the degree of trust many theoretical physicists have developed in
empirically unconfirmed theories such as string theory. In recent years, the analysis has broadened. The basic arguments of meta-empirical theory assessment are now taken to play an
implicit but central background role in all confirmation, be it empirical or non-empirical. To the extent confirmation is about generating trust in a scientific theory, meta-empirical
theory assessment must be involved. This perspective contributes to a clearer understanding of the continuities between empirical and non-empirical confirmation. It also allows for a
more nuanced appraisal of research contexts where both forms of confirmation happen side by side. In the talk, I will present the rationale behind the described view and illustrate it
with examples from high energy physics and cosmology.
