The cluster adjacency conjecture for positroid tiles of the m=2m=2 amplituhedron

Let ZG^(T)Z_{\hat{G}(\mathcal{T})} be a positroid tile of the amplituhedron An,k,2(Z)\mathcal{A}_{n,k,2}(Z). A facet is a codimension-one boundary piece, and each facet lies on a hypersurface Yij=0\langle Yij\rangle=0. Via the identification with Gr2,n(C)\operatorname{Gr}_{2,n}(\mathbb{C}), let pijp_{ij} denote the corresponding Plücker coordinate. Cluster adjacency conjecture. The collection of Plücker coordinates {pij}G^(T)\{p_{ij}\}_{\hat{G}(\mathcal{T})} corresponding to the facets is a collection of compatible cluster variables for Gr2,n(C)\operatorname{Gr}_{2,n}(\mathbb{C}). Moreover, if phlp_{hl} is compatible with this collection, then Yhl\langle Yhl\rangle has a fixed sign on the open positroid tile ZG^(T)Z^{\circ}_{\hat{G}(\mathcal{T})}. The paper proves this m=2m=2 conjecture, while proposing a broader version for general mm.
