Emergence of local interaction and quantum uncertainty from Mobius invariance C.S. Lam McGill & UBC, Canada (with Y.-P. Yao, U Michigan) CONTENTS Introduction Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) scattering formula Emergence from the evaluation of scalar amplitudes An amusing analogy Conclusion UV divergence strong-weak duality quantum gravity early universe (Penrose) emerging spacetime Locality Problems Black hole entropy Holographic principle Quantum mechanics (EPR) Chinese magic (spinor-helicity formalism) gluon scattering amplitude Parke-Taylor Formula (1986) KLT/BCJ relations Bern, Carrasco, JohanssonKawai, Lewellen, Tye Gravity amplitude ~ (gluon amplitude)(gluon amplitude) If Locality Not Fundamental SCATTERING THEORY how to introduce dynamics? z z Cachazo, He, Yuan (2013) 8 Dynamics Mobius symmetry in the complex plane Tree scattering (arXiv: , , ) z z scattering equations Translation Scaling Inversion Mobius Transformations..
