The Amplituhedron BCFW Triangulation
arXiv:2112.02703 · doi:10.1007/s00222-025-01316-1
Abstract
The amplituhedron Ank4 is a geometric object, introduced by Arkani-Hamed and Trnka (2013) in the study of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories. They conjecture that Ank4 admits a decomposition into images of BCFW positroid cells, arising from the Britto--Cachazo--Feng--Witten recurrence (2005). We prove that this conjecture is true.
