Color-ordered tree level scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theories can be written as a sum over terms which display the various propagator poles of Feynman diagrams. The numerators in these expressions which are obtained by…

We present a new formula for the biadjoint scalar tree amplitudes $m(\alpha|\beta)$ based on the combinatorics of dual associahedra. Our construction makes essential use of the cones in 'kinematic space' introduced by Arkani-Hamed, Bai, He,…
Let v be a real polynomial of even degree, and let \rho be the equilibrium probability measure for v with support S; so that v(x)\geq 2\int \log |x-y| \rho (dy)+C_v for some constant C_v with support S. Then S is the union of finitely many…
