Arkani-Hamed–Trnka triangulation conjecture for the amplituhedron

Let ZMatk+4,n>0Z\in\operatorname{Mat}_{k+4,n}^{>0}, and let Cn,k,4\mathcal{C}_{n,k,4} be the collection of BCFW cells in Grk,n0\operatorname{Gr}_{k,n}^{\geq 0}. Arkani-Hamed–Trnka triangulation conjecture. The images under Z~\widetilde{Z} of the cells in Cn,k,4\mathcal{C}_{n,k,4} should triangulate the m=4m=4 amplituhedron: they are pairwise disjoint and together cover a dense subset of An,k,4(Z)\mathcal{A}_{n,k,4}(Z). This conjecture concerns the geometric decomposition underlying canonical forms for scattering amplitudes in supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. The paper proves disjointness when k=2k=2, but the full triangulation statement remains open in general.
