DESCRIPTION:Scattering amplitudes are central quantities in perturbative q
 uantum field theories\, yet many aspects of their mathematical structure r
 emain unexplained. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts o
 n two aspects of their fundamental structure—the positivity properties t
 hey exhibit at the level of amplitude integrands\, and the analytic featur
 es they manifest after integration—in order to deepen our understanding 
 of how these surprising mathematical features are related. By stimulating 
 further interaction between these communities\, we will pave the way towar
 ds a new understanding of how the striking\, and often defining\, analytic
  features that amplitudes exhibit can be predicted directly from the study
  of positive geometries. Among other auspicious outcomes\, this will have 
 a transformative impact on methods for bootstrapping perturbative scatteri
 ng amplitudes\, which crucially rely on being able to make refined predict
 ions about the analytic structure of individual amplitudes.\nThe workshop 
 will take place September 14-25\, 2026 in the medieval town of Pollica\, i
 n Southwestern Italy (Cilento region). \n \nSpeakers include\nGiulio Cri
