Algebraic branch points at all loop orders from positive kinematics and wall crossing
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 There is a remarkable connection between the boundary structure of the positive kinematic region and branch points of integrated amplitudes in planar N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM.

Cyclic spacetimes through singularity scattering maps. The laws of quiescent bounces
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 For spacetimes containing quiescent singularity hypersurfaces we propose a general notion of junction conditions based on a prescribed singularity scattering map, as we call it, and we introduce the notion of a cyclic spacetime (also called a multiverse)

Tropical fans, scattering equations and amplitudes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We describe a family of tropical fans related to Grassmannian cluster algebras. These fans are related to the kinematic space of massless scattering processes in a number of ways.

Generalising G2 geometry: involutivity, moment maps and moduli
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We analyse the geometry of generic Minkowski N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1, D = 4 flux compactifications in string theory, the default backgrounds for string model building. In M-theory they are the natural string theoretic extensions of G2 holonomy manifolds.

Constraints on sequential discontinuities from the geometry of on-shell spaces
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We present several classes of constraints on the discontinuities of Feynman integrals that go beyond the Steinmann relations. These constraints follow from a geometric formulation of the Landau equations that was advocated by Pham, in which the ...

Algebraic singularities of scattering amplitudes from tropical geometry
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We address the appearance of algebraic singularities in the symbol alphabet of scattering amplitudes in the context of planar N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills theory.

Anyons in geometric models of matter
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We show that the “geometric models of matter” approach proposed by the first author can be used to construct models of anyon quasiparticles with fractional quantum numbers, using 4-dimensional edge-cone orbifold geometries with orbifold singularities ...

Singular solutions in soft limits
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 A generalization of the scattering equations on X (2, n), the configuration space of n points on ℂℙ1, to higher dimensional projective spaces was recently introduced by Early, Guevara, Mizera, and one of the authors.

Towards analytic structure of Feynman parameter integrals with rational curves
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We propose a strategy to study the analytic structure of Feynman parameter integrals where singularities of the integrand consist of rational irreducible components.

Generalized planar Feynman diagrams: collections
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Tree-level Feynman diagrams in a cubic scalar theory can be given a metric such that each edge has a length. The space of metric trees is made out of orthants joined where a tree degenerates.
