Abstract

The biadjoint scalar partial amplitude, \( {m}_n\left(\mathbbm{I},\mathbbm{I}\right) \), can be expressed as a single integral over the positive tropical Grassmannian thus producing a Global Schwinger Parameterization. The first result in this work is an extension to all partial amplitudes mn(α, β) using a limiting procedure on kinematic invariants that produces indicator functions in the integrand. The same limiting procedure leads to an integral representation of ϕ4 amplitudes where indicator functions turn into Dirac delta functions. Their support decomposes into Cn/2−1 regions, with Cq the qth-Catalan number. The contribution from each region is identified with a mn/2+1(α, \( \mathbbm{I} \)) amplitude. We provide a combinatorial description of the regions in terms of non-crossing chord diagrams and propose a general formula for ϕ4 amplitudes using the Lagrange inversion construction. We start the exploration of ϕp theories, finding that their regions are encoded in non-crossing (p – 2)-chord diagrams. The structure of the expansion of ϕp amplitudes in terms of ϕ3 amplitudes is the same as that of Green functions in terms of connected Green functions in the planar limit of Φp−1 matrix models. We also discuss possible connections to recent constructions based on Stokes polytopes and accordiohedra.

用正热带格拉斯曼曲线连接标量振幅
双伴随标量偏振幅\( {m}_n\left(\mathbbm{I},\mathbbm{I}\right) \)可以表示为热带正格拉斯曼曲线上的单个积分,从而产生全局Schwinger参数化。这项工作的第一个结果是利用在被积函数中产生指示函数的运动不变量的极限过程对所有偏幅mn(α, β)进行了扩展。同样的极限过程可以得到一个积分表示的ϕ4振幅,其中指示函数变成了狄拉克函数。他们的支持分解成Cn/2−1个区域,其中Cq是第六个加泰罗尼亚数字。每个区域的贡献用mn/2+1(α, \( \mathbbm{I} \))的振幅来确定。我们根据非交叉弦图提供了区域的组合描述,并提出了使用拉格朗日反演构造的一般公式。我们开始探索ϕp理论,发现它们的区域在非交叉(p - 2)弦图中编码。在Φp−1矩阵模型的平面极限中,以ϕ3为单位的ϕp幅值展开的结构与Green函数以连通的Green函数展开的结构相同。我们还讨论了基于斯托克斯多面体和手风琴体的近期结构的可能联系。
