  • The cosmohedron was recently proposed as a polytope underlying the cosmological wavefunction for $\text{Tr}(Φ^3)$ theory. Its faces were conjectured to be in bijection with Matryoshkas, which are obtained from a subdivision of a polygon by sequentially wrapping groups of polygons into larger polygons. In this paper we prove the correctness of this construction, and elucidate its combinatorial structure. Cosmohedra generalize to a wider class of $\mathcal{X}$ in $Y$ polytopes, where we chisel a polytope from the family $\mathcal{X}$ at each vertex of a polytope $Y$. We sketch a new application of these chiseled polytopes to the physics of ultraviolet divergences in loop-integrated Feynman amplitudes.
