Canadian mathematician and mathematical physicist
Karen Amanda Yeats (born 1980)[ 1] is a Canadian mathematician and mathematical physicist whose research connects combinatorics to quantum field theory . She holds the Canada Research Chair in Combinatorics in Quantum Field Theory at the University of Waterloo .[ 2]
Biography
Yeats is from Halifax, Nova Scotia . As an undergraduate at the University of Waterloo, she won an honourable mention for the 2003 Morgan Prize for her research in number theory , the theory of Lie groups , and non-standard models of arithmetic . She graduated in 2003, and went to Boston University for graduate school,[ 3] where she completed her Ph.D. in 2008. Her dissertation, Growth Estimates for Dyson-Schwinger Equations , was supervised by Dirk Kreimer .[ 4] In 2016 she was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship to visit Kreimer at the Humboldt University of Berlin .[ 5]
Yeats is the author of the books Rearranging Dyson–Schwinger Equations (Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, 2011)[ 6]
and A Combinatorial Perspective on Quantum Field Theory (Springer, 2017).[ 7]
