Description

Differential equations play a central role in theoretical physics, from quantum mechanics to scattering amplitudes. This talk explores how such equations can be understood as algebraic objects, rather than focusing on their explicit solutions. Through concrete examples, we show how organizing differential equations as ideal in algebras of differential operators provides a natural bridge between familiar computational techniques in amplitudes and modern algebraic methods.
