Tree-level scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills are known to be Yangian-invariant. It has been shown that integrability allows to obtain a general, explicit method to find such invariants. The uplifting of this result to the…
Perturbative scattering amplitudes in gauge theories have remarkable simplicity and hidden infinite dimensional symmetries that are completely obscured in the conventional formulation of field theory using Feynman diagrams. This suggests…

In \cite{arkani2018unwinding}, Arkani-Hamed, Thomas and Trnka formulated two conjectural descriptions of the tree amplituhedron $\ampli$ depending on the parity of $m$. When $m$ is even, the description involves the winding number and when…
