The Z-independence conjecture for amplituhedron combinatorics

Fix ZiGr>0(k+m,n)Z i\operatorname{Gr}_{>0}(k+m,n). Let f,f1,,fNf,f_1,\dots,f_N be affine permutations in Sn~(k,nk)\tilde{S_n}(-k,n-k), and let gg be another such affine permutation. The notions of ZZ-admissibility, ZZ-compatibility, and ZZ-triangulation are defined for these affine permutations. Z-independence conjecture. The following equivalences hold:

  1. ff is ZZ-admissible if and only if ff is (n,k,m)(n,k,m)-admissible.
  2. ff and gg are ZZ-compatible if and only if they are (n,k,m)(n,k,m)-compatible.
  3. f1,,fNf_1,\dots,f_N form a ZZ-triangulation if and only if they form an (n,k,m)(n,k,m)-triangulation.

This would make the combinatorics independent of the positive Grassmannian point ZZ. The source says it is widely believed in the physics literature, but gives no proof or resolution.
