Positive configuration space

N Arkani-Hamed, T Lam, M Spradlin - Communications in Mathematical …, 2021 - Springer
We define and study the totally nonnegative part of the Chow quotient of the Grassmannian,

The biadjoint scalar theory has cubic interactions and fields transforming in the biadjoint
representation of ${\rm SU}(N)\times {\rm SU}\big ({\tilde N}\big) $. Amplitudes …

[HTML][HTML] Generalized color orderings: CEGM integrands and decoupling identities

F Cachazo, N Early, Y Zhang - Nuclear Physics B, 2024 - Elsevier
In a recent paper, we defined generalized color orderings (GCO) and Feynman diagrams
(GFD) to compute color-dressed generalized biadjoint amplitudes. In this work, we study the …

Notes on polytopes, amplitudes and boundary configurations for Grassmannian string integrals

S He, L Ren, Y Zhang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We continue the study of positive geometries underlying the Grassmannian string
integrals, which are a class of “stringy canonical forms”, or stringy integrals, over the positive …

From weakly separated collections to matroid subdivisions

N Early - arXiv preprint arXiv:1910.11522, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study arrangements of slightly skewed tropical hyperplanes, called blades by A.
Ocneanu, on the vertices of a hypersimplex $\Delta_ {k, n} $, and we investigate the …

Planar matrices and arrays of Feynman diagrams

F Cachazo, A Guevara, B Umbert, Y Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Very recently planar collections of Feynman diagrams were proposed by Borges and one of
the authors as the natural generalization of Feynman diagrams for the computation of $ k …
