- Title
- Positive geometry for graviton scattering amplitudes
- Plain
- Gravity amplitudes lack the cyclic ordering of particles that the gauge-theory shapes rely on. No shape whose volume-like form gives graviton scattering is known.
- Precise
- Find a positive geometry whose canonical form equals tree-level n-graviton amplitudes of Einstein gravity or $N=8$ supergravity in $D = 4$ for all helicity sectors, or the loop integrands of $N=8$ supergravity; or prove that gravity amplitudes cannot be canonical forms in the standard sense.
- Settled by
- An explicit geometry reproducing all tree-level graviton amplitudes, or a proof of impossibility.
