The canonical rational-function push-forward conjecture for Amplituhedra

Let A(k,n,m;lL){\mathcal A}(k,n,m;l^L) be an Amplituhedron, let ΔD\Delta^D have positive coordinates X1,,XDX_1,\ldots,X_D, and let

Φ:ΔDA(k,n,m;lL)\Phi:\Delta^D\longrightarrow {\mathcal A}(k,n,m;l^L)

be a morphism from positive coordinates to the Amplituhedron. Denote the canonical rational function of the Amplituhedron by Ω(A)(Y)\underline{\Omega}({\mathcal A})(\mathcal Y). Amplituhedron amplitude push-forward conjecture. For every point YA\mathcal Y\in\mathcal A, the amplitude is

Ω(A)(Y)=dDXa=1DXaδD(Y;Φ(X)).\underline{\Omega}({\mathcal A})(\mathcal Y)=\int \frac{d^DX}{\prod_{a=1}^{D}X_a}\,\delta^D(\mathcal Y;\Phi(X)).

Here Y\mathcal Y and Φ(X)\Phi(X) are represented by matrices modulo a left group action. This is the rational-function version of the preceding form push-forward proposal, and its validity depends on constructing suitable morphisms.
