Dual Lattice Functions of Polytopes

Yibo Gao, Thomas Lam, Lei Xue

We define the dual lattice function of a rational polytope via the discrete Laplace transform of the exponential of its support function. This definition is a discrete analogue…

Combinatorial invariance for the coefficient of in Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials

Grant T. Barkley, Christian Gaetz, Thomas Lam

We prove the combinatorial invariance of the coefficient of in Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for arbitrary Coxeter groups. As a result, we obtain the Combinatorial Invariance Co…

Canonical forms of oriented matroids

Christopher Eur, Thomas Lam

Positive geometries are semialgebraic sets equipped with a canonical differential form whose residues mirror the boundary structure of the geometry. Every full-dimensional projecti…

The combinatorial geometry of particle physics

Thomas Lam

Recent breakthroughs in the study of scattering amplitudes have uncovered profound and unexpected connections with combinatorial geometry. These connections range from classical st…

Matroids and amplitudes

Thomas Lam

In the 1990s, Kita--Yoshida and Cho--Matsumoto introduced intersection forms on the twisted (co)homologies of hyperplane arrangement complements. We give a closed combinatorial for…

On the face stratification of the amplituhedron

Thomas Lam

We define and study the face stratification of the m=2 amplituhedron. We show that the face poset is an upper order ideal in the face poset of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian.…
