Centrally symmetric configurations of order polytopes

Commutative Algebra 2016-01-08 v3

Abstract

It is shown that the toric ideal of the centrally symmetric configuration of the order polytope of a finite partially ordered set possesses a squarefree quadratic initial ideal. It then follows that the convex polytope arising from the centrally symmetric configuration of an order polytope is a normal Gorenstein Fano polytope.
