Abstract

The order polytopes arising from the finite poset were first introduced and studied by Stanley. For any positive integer d14d\geq 14, Liu and Tsuchiya proved that there exists a non-Ehrhart positive order polytope of dimension dd. They also proved that any order polytope of dimension d11d\leq 11 is Ehrhart positive. We confirm that any order polytope of dimension 1212 or 1313 is Ehrhart positive. This solves an open problem proposed by Liu and Tsuchiya. Besides, we also verify that any hh^{*}-polynomial of order polytope of dimension d13d\leq 13 is real-rooted.
