Adjacency method for extreme Delaunay polytopes

Metric Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

The {\em hypermetric cone} is defined as the cone of semimetrics satisfying the {\em hypermetric inequalities}. Every {\em Delaunay polytope} corresponds to a ray of this polyhedral cone. The Delaunay polytopes, which correspond to extreme rays are called {\em extreme}. We use this polyhedral cone and the {\em closest vector problem} to present a new technique that allow to find, from a given extreme Delaunay polytope, some new ones. Then, we show some examples of applications of this technique in low-dimensions.
