Landau Singularities and Symbology

In previous work it has been observed that the singularity
structure of multi-loop scattering amplitudes in planar N=4
super-Yang-Mills theory is evidently dictated by cluster algebras.  In my talk I will discuss the interplay between this mathematical observation and the physical principle that the singularities of Feynman integrals are encoded in the Landau equations.
