It is at the forefront of the recent paradigm shift according to which physical observables emerge from geometry and combinatorics. It is the first book on the amplituhedron, which encodes the scattering amplitudes of N=4 Yang-Mills theory, a cousin of the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons. Amplituhedra are generalizations of polytopes inside the Grassmannian, and they build on the theory of total positivity and oriented matroids. This book unveils many new combinatorial structures of the amplituhedron and introduces a new important related object, the momentum amplituhedron. Moreover, the work pioneers the connection between amplituhedra, cluster algebras and tropical geometry. Combining extensive introductions with proofs and examples, it is a valuable resource for researchers investigating geometrical structures emerging from physics for some time to come. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aAlgebraic geometry 606 $aMathematics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aAlgebraic Geometry 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aAlgebraic geometry. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aAlgebraic Geometry. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a530.143 700 $aParisi$b Matteo$01437879 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760276103321 996 $aCombinatorial Aspects of Scattering Amplitudes$93598710 997 $aUNINA
