Abstract
Let be the Gelfand--Tsetlin polytope defined by the skew shape and weight . In the case corresponding to a standard Young tableau, we completely characterize for which shapes the polytope is integral. Furthermore, we show that is a compressed polytope whenever it is integral and corresponds to a standard Young tableau. We conjecture that a similar property hold for arbitrary , namely that has the integer decomposition property whenever it is integral. Finally, a natural partial ordering on GT-polytopes is introduced that provides information about integrality and the integer decomposition property, which implies the conjecture for certain shapes.
