Grassmannian forest characterization of momentum-amplituhedron boundaries

Let Mn,k\mathcal{M}_{n,k} be the momentum amplituhedron. For a Grassmannian graph GG, let ΦG\Phi^\circ_G be the associated stratum, and let dimM(F)\dim_{\mathcal{M}}(F) denote the dimension assigned to a Grassmannian forest FF. Grassmannian forest boundary conjecture. The stratum ΦG\Phi^\circ_G is a boundary of Mn,k\mathcal{M}_{n,k} if and only if GG is a Grassmannian forest of type (k,n)(k,n). Moreover, for every Grassmannian forest FF,

dimΦF=dimM(F).\dim \Phi^\circ_F=\dim_{\mathcal{M}}(F).

This conjecture is motivated by boundary data for 4n84\leq n\leq 8 and 2kn22\leq k\leq n-2, where the relevant positroid cells were observed to be labelled by Grassmannian forests; no general proof is given in the source.
