Anyons in geometric models of matter
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 ...

Scattering forms and the positive geometry of kinematics, color and the worldsheet
The search for a theory of the S-Matrix over the past five decades has revealed surprising geometric structures underlying scattering amplitudes ranging from the string worldsheet to the amplituhedron, but these are all geometries in auxiliary spaces as ...

Numerical metrics, curvature expansions and Calabi-Yau manifolds
We discuss the extent to which numerical techniques for computing approximations to Ricci-flat metrics can be used to investigate hierarchies of curvature scales on Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Schubert problems, positivity and symbol letters
We propose a geometrical approach to generate symbol letters of amplitudes/integrals in planar N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory, known as Schubert problems. Beginning with one-loop integrals, we find that intersections of lines in momentum

In [1], two of the present authors along with P. Raman attempted to extend the Amplituhedron program for scalar field theories [2] to quartic scalar interactions. In this paper we develop various aspects of this proposal.

Restrictions of Pfaffian systems for Feynman integrals
This work studies limits of Pfaffian systems, a class of first-order PDEs appearing in the Feynman integral calculus. Such limits appear naturally in the context of scattering amplitudes when there is a separation of scale in a given set of kinematic ...

On positive geometry and scattering forms for matter particles
We initiate the study of positive geometry and scattering forms for tree- level amplitudes with matter particles in the (anti-)fundamental representation of the color/flavor group.

Duals of Feynman Integrals. Part II. Generalized unitarity
The first paper of this series introduced objects (elements of twisted relative cohomology) that are Poincaré dual to Feynman integrals. We show how to use the pairing between these spaces — an algebraic invariant called the intersection number — to ...

Hyperbolic geometry and amplituhedra in 1+2 dimensions
Recently, the existence of an Amplituhedron for tree level amplitudes in the bi-adjoint scalar field theory has been proved by Arkani-Hamed et al.

Maximal cuts in arbitrary dimension
We develop a systematic procedure for computing maximal unitarity cuts of multiloop Feynman integrals in arbitrary dimension. Our approach is based on the Baikov representation in which the structure of the cuts is particularly simple. We examine several
