IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Matroids and Amplitudes

Abstract: Matroids are combinatorial abstractions of the notion of linear independence. They are one of the main objects studied in the current special year in the School of Mathematics. I will talk about a notion of scattering amplitudes for matroids. It is based on Cachazo-He-Yuan's scattering equations, Mizera's intersection theory interpretation, and our on-going search for positive geometry.
