Abstract:
A scattering amplitude of elementary fields is
a basic object to understand important physics
not only in particle physics but also in a
general quantum field theory (QFT), such as
crossing symmetry and unitarity. In this talk I
will talk about two body scattering amplitudes
in Chern-Simons vector models, in which
there has been a big progress recenlty. One
of novel interesting phenomena discovered in
this class of QFTs is non-supersymmetric
duality. A main goal of this talk will be to
explain our conjectural answer of the two body
scatterings, which encode non-SUSY duality
as well as crossing symmetry and unitarity.
