Abstract:
In this Letter we compute a canonical set of cuts of the integrand for maximally helicity violating amplitudes in planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, where all internal propagators are put on shell. These "deepest cuts" probe the most complicated Feynman diagrams and on-shell processes that can possibly contribute to the amplitude, but are also naturally associated with remarkably simple geometric facets of the amplituhedron. The recent reformulation of the amplituhedron in terms of combinatorial geometry directly in the kinematic (momentum-twistor) space plays a crucial role in understanding this geometry and determining the cut. This provides us with the first nontrivial results on scattering amplitudes in the theory valid for arbitrarily many loops and external particle multiplicities.

Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
