Triangulations and Canonical Forms of Amplituhedra: A Fiber-Based Approach Beyond Polytopes

Abstract: Any totally positive (k + m) × n matrix induces a map π + from the positive Grassmannian Gr + (k, n) to the Grassmannian Gr(k, k + m), whose image is the amplituhedron A n,k,m and is endowed with a top-degree form called the canonical form (A n,k,m ). This construction was introduced by Arkani-Hamed and Trnka (J High Energy Phys 2014(10):30, 2014), where they showed that (A n,k,4 ) encodes scattering amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. One way to compute (A n,k,m ) is to subdivide A n,k,m into so-cal… Show more

“…The form is not the canonical form of the fiber, but it is in covariant pairing with it. In [25], these type of forms will also be defined in the context of objects which are more general than polytopes, such as the amplituhedra.…”

“…Integration contours capturing all the (regular) 2 triangulations of a given polytope can be defined via a method [21] which relies on the Jeffrey-Kirwan Residue [20,24]. We will give a brief review and refer to [21] and the upcoming work [25] for further details. In Section (4) we will present an explicit example and explain its connection with this work.…”

“…Each 4 loop all-in-onepoint cut is given by 3 intersections and 2 sidings. Denoting the intersection between lines L i and L j by (i, j) and a sliding between the sets of lines I and J as (I, J), we explore the cut {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4) ; (12,13), (123, 14)} ,…”

“…This type of structure appears in the boundaries of the loop amplituhedron, implying that the loop amplituhedron is not a 'positive geometry' in the sense usually understood [10]. 2 There has been tremendous progress in understanding the geometry of the tree level amplituhedron and its canonical form [8,[12][13][14][15]. The loop amplituhedron and its triangulations on the other hand are much less well understood.…”

“…The discovery of the Amplituhedron was based on earlier polytope picture for NMHV tree-level amplitudes [4,5], loop level recursion relations [6] and the positive Grassmannian [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The geometry of Amplituhedron has been studied extensively in last years, including the boundary structure [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], triangulations [20,21], Yangian invariance [22,23] and more rigorous mathematical understanding of the geometry [24][25][26][27][28][29]. The geometric picture has been used to provide some all-loop results which could not be obtained using standard methods [30][31][32].…”
