Abstract
Let be the root polytope of a finite irreducible crystallographic root system , i.e., the convex hull of all roots in . The polar of , denoted , coincides with the union of the orbit of the fundamental alcove under the action of the Weyl group. In this paper, we establishes which polytopes are zonotopes and which are not. The proof is constructive.
