The twistor diagram formalism for scattering amplitudes is introduced, emphasising its finiteness and conformal symmetry. It is shown how MHV amplitudes are simply represented by twistor diagrams. Then the Britto-Cachazo-Feng recursion…

In this series we introduce and investigate the concept of connectoids, which captures the connectivity structure of various discrete objects like undirected graphs, directed graphs, bidirected graphs, hypergraphs or finitary matroids. In…

We demonstrate that the source of a shear-free null congruence is, generically, a world sheet of a singular string in the complex Minkowski space. In particular cases the string degenerates into the Newman's point singularity. We describe…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…

We extend the construction of a spectral triple for k-Minkowski space, previously given for the two-dimensional case, to the general n-dimensional case. This takes into account the modular group naturally arising from the symmetries of the…

Steinerberger proposed a notion of curvature on graphs involving the graph distance matrix (J. Graph Theory, 2023). We show that nonnegative curvature is almost preserved under three graph operations. We characterize the distance matrix and…

The unitarity of the 4D lattice theory of gravity in the case of the Minkowski signature is proved. The proof is valid only for lattices that conserve the number of degrees of freedom during time evolution. The Euclidean signature and the…

In this paper we prove the following Liouville-type theorem: any anisotropic minimal graph with free boundary in the half-space must be flat, provided that the graph function has at most one-sided linear growth. This extends the classical…

In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…

Penrose's work \cite{8} established a connection between the edge 3-colorings of cubic planar graphs and tensor algebras. We exploit this point of view in order to get algebraic representations of the category of cubic graphs with free…

Tensor models are used nowadays for implementing a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We define here a polynomial $\mathcal T$ encoding the supplementary topological information. This polynomial is a natural generalization of the…

The study of three dimensional CFT correlators in twistor space has recently garnered a significant interest. Conformal symmetry acts linearly in the twistor space, which streamlines the analysis. Moreover, twistors provide a connection to…

In this paper we develop the theory of Willmore sequences for Willmore surfaces in the 4-sphere. We show that under appropriate conditions this sequence has to terminate. In this case the Willmore surface either is the twistor projection of…
