We review different notions of cuts appearing throughout the literature on scattering amplitudes. Despite similar names, such as unitarity cuts or generalized cuts, they often represent distinct computations and distinct physics. We…
A new formula is obtained in algebraic topology, in terms of Betti numbers, and a new method, called the spinal method, is suggested and developed for generating quadrangulations of closed orientable surfaces. Those surfaces arise as the…
For a compact manifold with boundary $X$ we introduce the $n$-fold scattering stretched product $X^n_{\text{sc}}$ which is a compact manifold with corners for each $n,$ coinciding with the previously known cases for $n=2,3.$ It is…
Recently [A. Xuereb, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 013602 (2010)], we calculated the radiation field and the optical forces acting on a moving object inside a general one-dimensional configuration of immobile optical elements. In this…
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…
We establish closed-form expansions for the universal edge elimination polynomial of paths and cycles and their generating functions. This includes closed-form expansions for the bivariate matching polynomial, the bivariate chromatic…
A new class of alternating convolutions concerning binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers are evaluated in closed forms.
This paper studies pattern formations in coupled elliptic PDE systems governed by transparent boundary conditions. Such systems unify diverse areas, including inverse boundary problems (via a single passive/active boundary measurement),…
This paper investigates the inverse biharmonic scattering problems of identifying the shape and location of the obstacle with phased and phaseless measurement data. A direct imaging method based on reverse time migration is proposed for…
This article introduces the theory of Veronese polytopes, a broad generalisation of cyclic polytopes. These arise as convex hulls of points on curves with one or more connected components, obtained as the image of the rational normal curve…
We present new examples of topologically convex edge-ununfoldable polyhedra, i.e., polyhedra that are combinatorially equivalent to convex polyhedra, yet cannot be cut along their edges and unfolded into one planar piece without overlap.…
In this paper, we compute the homology group and cohomology algebra of various polyhedral product objects uniformly from the point of view of diagonal tensor product. As applications, we introduce the polyhedral product method into…
The expressions of the autocorrelation functions (CF) of the regular tetrahedron and the regular octahedron are reported. They have an algebraic form that involves the arctangent function and rational functions of r and (a + b r2)1/2, a and…
An updated formulation of soft diffraction, compatible with $s$ and $t$ channel unitarity, is presented. Its consequent general soft scattering features at high energies are explored. The critical interplay between theory and data analysis…
The soft limits of scattering amplitudes have been extensively studied due to their essential role in the computation of physical observables in collider physics. The universal factorisation that occurs in these kinematic limits has been…
In this talk we describe the application of the AdS/CFT correspondence for a confining background to the study of high energy scattering amplitudes in gauge theory. We relate the energy behaviour of scattering amplitudes to properties of…
Building on the seminal work of Arkani-Hamed, He, Salvatori and Thomas (AHST), we explore the positive geometry encoding one loop scattering amplitude for quartic scalar interactions. We define a new class of combinatorial polytopes that we…
In this paper, we consider the obstacle scattering problem for biharmonic equations with a Dirichlet boundary condition in both two and three dimensions. Some basic properties are first derived for the biharmonic scattering solutions, which…
We define generalised higher Whitehead maps between polyhedral products. By investigating the interplay between the homotopy-theoretic properties of polyhedral products and the combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes, we describe…
We prove the combinatorial property of shortness for freehedra. Note that associahedra, a sibling family of polytopes, are not short.
