Geometric realizations of the accordion complex of a dissection

Abstract

Consider 2n2n points on the unit circle and a reference dissection D\mathrm{D}_\circ of the convex hull of the odd points. The accordion complex of D\mathrm{D}_\circ is the simplicial complex of non-crossing subsets of the diagonals with even endpoints that cross a connected subset of diagonals of D\mathrm{D}_\circ. In particular, this complex is an associahedron when D\mathrm{D}_\circ is a triangulation and a Stokes complex when D\mathrm{D}_\circ is a quadrangulation. In this paper, we provide geometric realizations (by polytopes and fans) of the accordion complex of any reference dissection D\mathrm{D}_\circ, generalizing known constructions arising from cluster algebras.
