Abstract
An integral polytope is a polytope whose vertices have integer coordinates. A unimodular triangulation of an integral polytope in is a triangulation in which all simplices are integral with volume . A classic result of Knudsen, Mumford, and Waterman states that for every integral polytope , there exists a positive integer such that has a unimodular triangulation. We strengthen this result by showing that for every integral polytope , there exists such that for every positive integer , admits a unimodular triangulation. This answers a longstanding question in the area.
