Multiloop scattering amplitudes describing the quantum fluctuations at high-energy scattering processes are the main bottleneck in perturbative quantum field theory. The loop-tree duality is a novel method aimed at overcoming this…

The strict definition of positive geometry implies that all maximal residues of its canonical form are $\pm 1$. We observe, however, that the loop integrand of the amplitude in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills has maximal residues…

The complete structure of the moduli space of \cys\ and the associated Landau-Ginzburg theories, and hence also of the corresponding low-energy effective theory that results from (2,2) superstring compactification, may be determined in…

We present a three-loop analysis of the scattering amplitude of five nearly massless W-bosons in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The basis of the master integrals is established, making use of the unitarity-cut sewing…

We propose a new diagrammatic formulation of the all-loop scattering amplitudes/Wilson loops in planar N=4 SYM, dubbed the "momentum-twistor diagrams". These are on-shell-diagrams obtained by gluing trivalent black and white vertices…

A banana manifold is a Calabi-Yau threefold fibered by Abelian surfaces whose singular fibers contain banana configurations: three rational curves meeting each other in two points. A nano-manifold is a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ with very…

We define a new geometry obtained from the all-loop amplituhedron in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM by reducing its four-dimensional external and loop momenta to three dimensions. Focusing on the simplest four-point case, we provide strong evidence that…

The collinear factorization properties of two-loop scattering amplitudes in dimensionally-regulated N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory suggest that, in the planar ('t Hooft) limit, higher-loop contributions can be expressed entirely in terms of…
