In a remarkable recent work [arXiv : 1711.09102] by Arkani-Hamed et al, the amplituhedron program was extended to the realm of non-supersymmetric scattering amplitudes. In particular it was shown that for tree-level planar diagrams in…
The search for a theory of the S-Matrix has revealed surprising geometric structures underlying amplitudes ranging from the worldsheet to the amplituhedron, but these are all geometries in auxiliary spaces as opposed to kinematic space…
Building on the prior work in [1] we locate a family of positive geometries in the kinematic space which are a specific class of convex realisations of the associahedron. These realisations are obtained by scaling and translating the…
We build upon the prior works of [1-3] to study tree-level planar amplitudes for a massless scalar field theory with polynomial interactions. Focusing on a specific example, where the interaction is given by $\lambda_3\phi^{3}\ +\lambda_4…
Starting with the seminal work of Arkani-Hamed et al arXiv:1711.09102, in arXiv:1811.05904, the "Amplituhedron program" was extended to analyzing (planar) amplitudes in massless $\phi^{4}$ theory. In this paper we show that the program can…
Scattering amplitudes are both a wonderful playground to discover novel ideas in Quantum Field Theory and simultaneously of immense phenomenological importance to make precision predictions for e.g.~particle collider observables and more…

We initiate the study of positive geometry and scattering forms for tree-level amplitudes with matter particles in the (anti-)fundamental representation of the color/flavor group. As a toy example, we study the bi-color scalar theory, which…
The geometric structure of S-matrix encapsulated by the "Amplituhedron program" has begun to reveal itself even in non-supersymmetric quantum field theories. Starting with the seminal work of Arkani-Hamed, Bai, He and Yan it is now…
In this note, we prove that the realization of associahedron discovered by Arkani-Hamed, Bai, He, and Yun (ABHY) is a positive geometry for tree-level S-matrix of scalars which have no color and which interact via cubic coupling. More in…
We present a general construction of two types of differential forms, based on any $(n{-}3)$-dimensional subspace in the kinematic space of $n$ massless particles. The first type is the so-called projective, scattering forms in kinematic…
In this paper we study a relation between two positive geometries: the momentum amplituhedron, relevant for tree-level scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory, and the kinematic associahedron, encoding tree-level…
Positive geometries provide a purely geometric point of departure for studying scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory. A positive geometry is a specific semi-algebraic set equipped with a unique rational top form - the canonical…
The story of positive geometry of massless scalar theories was pioneered in [1] in the context of bi-adjoint $\phi^3$ theories. Further study proposed that the positive geometry for a generic massless scalar theory with polynomial…

Scattering amplitudes of $\operatorname{tr}(\phi^3)$ theory can be encoded as the canonical form of the Stasheff associahedron. Similarly, the flat-space wavefunction coefficients of the same theory are captured by the recently proposed…
In this paper, we explore the applicability of the BCFW-like recursion relations \cite{He:2018svj,Yang:2019esm} to a wider class of positive geometries. Previously it was found in \cite{Jagadale:2022rbl}, the tree level scattering amplitude…
We show that accordiohedra furnish polytopes which encode amplitudes for all massive scalar field theories with generic interactions. This is done by deriving integral formulae for the Feynman diagrams at tree level and integrands at one…
