The ABCT variety V(3,n) is a positive geometry
- Emanuele Ventura (Politecnico di Torino)
Abstract
The ABCT variety V(3,n) is the image closure of the rational Veronese map from the Grassmannian G(2,n) to the Grassmannian Gr(3,n). It was studied by Arkani-Hamed--Bourjaily--Cachazo--Trnka in the context of tree-level scattering amplitudes arising in planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and Witten's twistor string theory. From this perspective, V(3,n) was conjectured to be a positive geometry by Lam. In this talk, I will discuss some combinatorial and geometric aspects of V(3,n), showing that it is a positive geometry. This is joint work with Dawei Shen.
