How tropical are seven- and eight-particle amplitudes?

Abstract We study tropical Grassmanians Tr(k, n) in relation to cluster algebras, and assess their applicability to n-particle amplitudes for n = 7, 8. In N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills theory, we first show that while the totally positive part of Tr(4, 7) may encompass the iterated discon...
