Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Scattering Amplitudes from the Tropical Grassmannian
Paul Mammen
We will look at a mathematical formulation of the theory of scattering amplitudes from physics. We will see how combinatorial objects like the Associahedron naturally come up in this setting. Building on this connection, we will see how these amplitudes are related to the totally positive tropical Grassmannian and related cluster algebras.
