All-loop geometry for four-point correlation functions

Abstract: In this letter, we consider a positive geometry conjectured to encode the loop integrand of four-point stress-energy correlators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. Beginning with four lines in twistor space, we characterize a positive subspace to which an $\ell$-loop geometry is attached. The loop geometry then consists of $\ell$ lines in twistor space satisfying positivity conditions among themselves and with respect to the base. Consequently, the $\textit{loop geometry}$ can be viewed as fibration over a $\textit{tree geometry}$. The fibration naturally dissects the base into chambers, in which the degree-$4 \ell$ loop form is unique and distinct for each chamber. Interestingly, up to three loops, the chambers are simply organized by the six ordering of $x<sup>2_{1,2}x<sup>2_{3,4}$, $x<sup>2_{1,4}x<sup>2_{2,3}$ and $x<sup>2_{1,3}x<sup>2_{2,4}$. We explicitly verify our conjecture by computing the loop-forms in terms of a basis of planar conformal integrals up to $\ell=3$, which indeed yield correct loop integrands for the four-point correlator.
