Fan realizations for some 2-associahedra

Abstract

A~kk-associahedron is a simplicial complex whose facets, called~kk-triangulations, are the inclusion maximal sets of diagonals of a convex polygon where no~k+1k+1 diagonals mutually cross. Such complexes are conjectured for about a decade to have realizations as convex polytopes, and therefore as complete simplicial fans. Apart from four one-parameter families including simplices, cyclic polytopes and classical associahedra, only two instances of multiassociahedra have been geometrically realized so far. This paper reports on conjectural realizations for all~22-associahedra, obtained by heuristic methods arising from natural geometric intuition on subword complexes. Experiments certify that we obtain fan realizations of~22-associahedra of an~nn-gon for~n{10,11,12,13}n\in\{10,11,12,13\}, further ones being out of our computational reach.
