Mini-Workshop: Scattering Amplitudes, Cluster Algebras, and Positive Geometries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cluster algebras were developed by Fomin and Zelevinsky about twenty years ago. While the initial motivation came from within algebra (total positivity, canonical bases), it quickly became clear that cluster algebras possess deep links to a host of other subjects in mathematics and physics. In a separate vein, starting about ten years ago, Arkani-Hamed and his collaborators began a program of reformulating the bases of quantum field theory, motivated by a desire to discover the basic rules of quantum mechanics and spacetime as arising from deeper mathematical principles. Their approach to the fundamental problem of particle scattering amplitudes entails encoding the solution in geometrical objects, “positive geometries” and “amplituhedra”. Surprisingly, cluster algebras have been found to be tightly woven into the mathematics needed to describe these geometries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore the various connections between cluster algebras, scattering amplitudes, and positive geometries.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
