Erik Panzer

Dr Erik Panzer is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, and a Fifty-Pound Fellow at All Souls College since 2021. His research lies at the intersection of quantum field theory and number theory, focusing on Feynman integrals, hyperlogarithms, and motivic periods.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2015)
• CASM (Part III), University of Cambridge (2009-2010)
• Undergraduate studies at Freie Universität Berlin and Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus

Research Interests:

Panzer's work spans quantum field theory, number theory, and algebraic geometry. He investigates Feynman graphs and integrals, hyperlogarithms, (elliptic) polylogarithms, and multiple zeta values. His research also delves into motivic periods, combinatorial Hopf algebras, renormalization, and graph complexes.

Publications:

His recent publications explore advanced topics such as the cohomology of GL₂ₙ(ℤ), regularized integrals, Feynman symmetries, and hierarchies in Picard-Lefschetz theory. His work often involves intricate calculations in quantum field theory and deep connections to number theory.

Awards and Grants:

• Foreign Exchange Scholarship from Studienstiftung (2009-2010)
• College Prize, Retrospective Title of Scholar 2009/10 (2008)
• Royal Society University Research Fellowship

Events:

Panzer has co-organized numerous academic events, including conferences on tropical geometry, periods, and scattering amplitudes, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
