From Permutahedron to Associahedron

Abstract

For each finite real reflection group WW, we identify a copy of the type-WW simplicial generalised associahedron inside the corresponding simplicial permutahedron. This defines a bijection between the facets of the generalised associahedron and the elements of the type WW non-crossing partition lattice which is more tractable than previous such bijections. We show that the simplicial fan determined by this associahedron coincides with the Cambrian fan for WW.
