Description

The Correlahedron, introduced by Eden, Heslop, and Mason, provides a positive geometric framework for computing correlation functions in maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. In this talk, I will review the underlying geometry and present recent developments, particularly the introduction of chambers, which partition the space into regions corresponding to distinct physical contributions. This structure leads to a natural representation of the correlator as a sum over leading singularities multiplied by pure functions. Remarkably, the leading singularities reduce to just six basis elements, related by simple permutations—revealing a surprisingly compact and symmetric structure underlying the correlators.
