Speaker: Fernando Alday
Abstract: I will describe recent progress in computing tree-level string amplitudes on curved AdS backgrounds, denoted AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitudes.In particular,we will discuss two limits,the Regge and high energy limits,where the amplitude can be computed in an explicit form.
