The dual Amplituhedron volume conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let A{\mathcal A} be an Amplituhedron embedded in an irreducible variety XX, and let Y∈X\mathcal Y\in X lie away from the boundary of A{\mathcal A}. Dual Amplituhedron volume conjecture. There exists an irreducible dual variety XY∗X^*_{\mathcal Y} and a bijection between positive geometries in XX and positive geometries in XY∗X^*_{\mathcal Y}, sending A{\mathcal A} to a dual Amplituhedron AY∗{\mathcal A}^*_{\mathcal Y}, reversing inclusions and preserving triangulations. Moreover, there is a Y\mathcal Y-dependent measure dVol⁡d\operatorname{Vol} on XY∗(R)X^*_{\mathcal Y}(\mathbb R) such that

Ω‾(B)(Y)=Vol⁡(BY∗):=∫BY∗dVol⁡\underline{\Omega}(\mathcal B)(\mathcal Y)=\operatorname{Vol}(\mathcal B^*_{\mathcal Y}):=\int_{\mathcal B^*_{\mathcal Y}}d\operatorname{Vol}

for every positive geometry B\mathcal B in XX. The conjecture extends the dual-polytope volume formula to Amplituhedra; the source restricts the discussion to even mm because the volume formulation requires positive convexity, which generally fails for odd mm.
