The fundamental role of on-shell diagrams in quantum field theory has been recently recognized. On-shell diagrams, or equivalently bipartite graphs, provide a natural bridge connecting gauge theory to powerful mathematical structures such…

Let $X$ be a connected component of the maximal orthogonal grassmannian of a generic $n$-dimensional quadratic form $q$ with trivial Clifford invariant. Consider the canonical epimorphism $\phi$ from the Chow ring of $X$ to the associated…

We introduce quivers of valuated matroids and study their tropical parameter spaces. We define quiver Dressians, which parametrize containment of tropical linear spaces after tropical matrix multiplication, and show that tropicalizations of…

In recent work of Cachazo, Guevara, Mizera and the author, a generalization of the biadjoint scattering amplitude $m^{(k)}(\mathbb{I}_n,\mathbb{I}_n)$ was introduced as an integral over the moduli space of $n$ points in $\mathbb{CP}^{k-1}$,…

We launch the study of the tropicalization of the symplectic Grassmannian, that is, the space of all linear subspaces that are isotropic with respect to a fixed symplectic form. We formulate tropical analogues of several equivalent…

Let $\Gamma(n,k)$ be the Grassmann graph formed by the $k$-dimensional subspaces of a vector space of dimension $n$ over a field $\mathbb F$ and, for $t\in \mathbb{N}\setminus \{0\}$, let $\Delta_t(n,k)$ be the subgraph of $\Gamma(n,k)$…

Given two tropical polynomials $f, g$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, we provide a characterization for the existence of a factorization $f= h \odot g$ and the construction of $h$. As a ramification of this result we obtain a parallel result for the…

In this paper we use toric geometry to investigate the topology of the totally non-negative part of the Grassmannian (Gr_{kn})_{\geq 0}. This is a cell complex whose cells Delta_G can be parameterized in terms of the combinatorics of…

The Dressian and the tropical Grassmannian parameterize abstract and realizable tropical linear spaces; but in general, the Dressian is much larger than the tropical Grassmannian. There are natural positive notions of both of these spaces…

Let $\Pi$ be a polar space of rank $n$ and let ${\mathcal G}_{k}(\Pi)$, $k\in \{0,\dots,n-1\}$ be the polar Grassmannian formed by $k$-dimensional singular subspaces of $\Pi$. The corresponding Grassmann graph will be denoted by…

We show that the tropical projective Grassmannian of planes is homeomorphic to a closed subset of the analytic Grassmannian in Berkovich's sense by constructing a continuous section to the tropicalization map. Our main tool is an explicit…

We revisit the computation of four-point wavefunction coefficients and correlators for external conformally coupled scalars exchanging a particle of generic mass and spin. Much of the phenomenology of cosmological collider physics in the…

Denote by $\mathbb G(k,n)$ the Grassmannian of linear subspaces of dimension $k$ in $\mathbb P^n$. We show that if $n>m$ then every morphism $\varphi: \mathbb G(k,n) \to \mathbb G(l,m)$ is constant.

We consider the joint system of equivariant quantum differential equations (qDE) and qKZ difference equations for the Grassmannian $G(k,n)$, which parametrizes $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^n$. First, we establish a connection…

The literature on maximal torus orbits in the Grassmannian is vast; in this paper we initiate a program to extend this to diagonal subtori. Our main focus is generalizing portions of Kapranov's seminal work on Chow quotient…

The homogeneous coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[\operatorname{Gr}(k,n)]$ of the Grassmannian is a cluster algebra, with an additive categorification $\operatorname{CM}C$. Thus every $M\in\operatorname{CM}C$ has a cluster character…

In quantum field theory study, Grassmannian manifolds $\text{Gr}(4,n)$ are closely related to $D{=}4$ kinematics input for $n$-particle scattering processes, whose combinatorial and geometrical structures have been widely applied in…

Let $G=\mathrm{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb{R})$ or $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{H})$ and $H=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ regarded as a subgroup of $G$. Here, $\mathbb{H}$ is the quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{R}$. For a character $\chi$ on…

Generalised bi-adjoint scalar amplitudes, obtained from integrations over moduli space of punctured $\mathbb{CP}^{k-1}$, are novel extensions of the CHY formalism. These amplitudes have realisations in terms of Grassmannian cluster…

MacPherson conjectured that the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(2, \mathbb{R}^n)$ has the same homeomorphism type as the combinatorial Grassmannian $\|\mbox{MacP}(2,n)\|$, while Babson proved that the spaces $\mathrm{Gr}(2,\mathbb{R}^n)$ and…
