Abstract We combine the technology of the theory of polytopes and twisted intersection theory to derive a large class of double copy relations that generalize the classical relations due to Kawai, Lewellen and Tye (KLT). To do this, we first study a generalization of the scattering equations of Cachazo, He and Yuan. While the scattering equations were defined on ℳ0, n — the moduli space of marked Riemann spheres — the new scattering equations are defined on polytopes known as accordiohedra, realized as hyperplane arrangements. These polytopes encode as patterns of intersection the scattering amplitudes of generic scalar theories. The twisted period relations of such intersection numbers provide a vast generalization of the KLT relations. Differential forms dual to the bounded chambers of the hyperplane arrangements furnish a natural generalization of the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) basis, the number of which can be determined by counting the number of solutions of the generalized scattering equations. In this work the focus is on a generalization of the BCJ expansion to generic scalar theories, although we use the labels KLT and BCJ interchangeably.

Projective Lines

We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of four projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi–Yau 3-folds with small Hodge numbers. In particular, the Picard number is 1 and the number of moduli is 5. Furthermore, the fundamental group is nontrivial. We also construct a new family of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero, K2 = 3 and fundamental group of order 16. We show that this family dominates an irreducible component of dimension 4 of the moduli space of the surfaces of general type.

Abstract We construct and study the theory of relative quasimaps in genus zero, in the spirit of Gathmann. When $X$ is a smooth toric variety and $Y$ is a smooth very ample hypersurface in $X$, we produce a virtual class on the moduli space of relative quasimaps to $(X,Y)$, which we use to define relative quasimap invariants. We obtain a recursion formula which expresses each relative invariant in terms of invariants of lower tangency, and apply this formula to derive a quantum Lefschetz theorem for quasimaps, expressing the restricted quasimap invariants of $Y$ in terms of those of $X$. Finally, we show that the relative $I$-function of Fan–Tseng–You coincides with a natural generating function for relative quasimap invariants, providing mirror-symmetric motivation for the theory.

We show that the k = 1 two-dimensional gravity amplitudes at genus 3 agree precisely with the results from intersection theory on moduli space. Predictions for the genus 4 intersection numbers follow easily from the two-dimensional gravity theory.

The Continuum

The generating function that gives rise to the orbifold Euler characteristic of the moduli space of punctured compact Rieman surfaces [Formula: see text], g ≥ 0 is derived explicitly. In the derivation, we show that we do not need to use the three-term recursion relation for the orthogonal polynomials. Also the continuum limit of Penner's connected generating function is considered and is shown to be formally equivalent to the free energy obtained recently by Distler and Vafa which exhibits the logarithmic divergences found for genus zero and one in D = 1 matrix models. Finally, it is shown that the free energy and its s-derivatives are nothing but the continuum limit of a certain generating function introduced by Harer and Zagier in obtaining the true Euler characteristic with any number of punctures,[Formula: see text], s ≥ 0.
