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…
The way we organise perturbation theory is of fundamental importance both for computing the observables of relevance and for extracting fundamental physics out of them. If on one hand the different ways in which the perturbative observables…
In this work we perform a systematic study of the singularity structure of inflationary correlations at 1-loop. We explicitly compute a few diagrams and find a pattern emerging in the singularities produced. Motivated by this, we derive…
This manuscript introduces a finite collection of generalized permutohedra associated to a simple graph. The first polytope of this collection is the graphical zonotope of the graph and the last is the graph-associahedron associated to it.…
We prove that every Hassett compactification of the moduli space of weighted stable rational curves that admits both a reduction map from the Losev-Manin compactification and a reduction map to projective space is a toric variety, whose…
We define Hodge correlators for a compact Kahler manifold X. They are complex numbers which can be obtained by perturbative series expansion of a certain Feynman integral which we assign to X. We show that they define a functorial real…
Disorder has long been a difficult subject in condensed matter systems and the The replica method is a well-known tool in this field. Implementing the replica method the AdS/CFT correspondence has been proposed and discussed in literatures.…
Motivated by the graph associahedron KG, a polytope whose face poset is based on connected subgraphs of G, we consider the notion of associativity and tubes on posets. This leads to a new family of simple convex polytopes obtained by…
Recently E.Verlinde and H.Verlinde have suggested an effective two-dimensional theory describing the high-energy scattering in QCD. In this report we attempt to clarify some issues of this suggestion. We consider {\it anisotropic…
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 extend the notion of graph homomorphism to cellularly embedded graphs (maps) by designing operations on vertices and edges that respect the surface topology; we thus obtain the first definition of map homomorphism that preserves both the…
This paper extends graphic statics by describing the forces and moments in any 3D rigid-jointed frame structure in terms of cell complexes using homology theory of algebraic topology. Graphic statics provides a highly geometric way to…
In this paper we study the ring $\mathcal{P}$ of combinatorial convex polytopes. We introduce the algebra of operators $\mathcal{D}$ generated by the operators $d_k$ that send an $n$-dimensional polytope $P^n$ to the sum of all its…
A connected matching in a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint edges whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph of G. While finding a connected matching of maximum cardinality is a well-solved problem, it is NP-hard to…
Folding is emerging as a promising manufacturing process to transform flat materials into functional structures, offering efficiency by reducing the need for welding, gluing, and molding, while minimizing waste and enabling automation.…
For a generalized permutohedron $Q$ the enumerator $F(Q)$ of positive lattice points in interiors of maximal cones of the normal fan $\Sigma_Q$ is a quasisymmetric function. We describe this function for the class of nestohedra as a Hopf…
The primary goal of this article is to set up a general theory of coherent cellular approximations of the diagonal for families of polytopes by developing the method introduced by N. Masuda, A. Tonks, H. Thomas and B. Vallette. We apply…
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…
We study general correlation functions of various quantum field theories in the holographic setup. Following the holographic proposal, we investigate correlation functions via a geodesic length connecting boundary operators. We show that…
We explore several families of flip-graphs, all related to polygons or punctured polygons. In particular, we consider the topological flip-graphs of once-punctured polygons which, in turn, contain all possible geometric flip-graphs of…
