W-Associahedra are In-Your-Face

Abstract

We use a projection argument to uniformly prove that WW-permutahedra and WW-associahedra have the property that if v,vv,v' are two vertices on the same face ff, then any geodesic between vv and vv' does not leave ff. In type AA, we show that our geometric projection recovers a slight modification of the combinatorial projection given by D. Sleator, R. Tarjan, and W. Thurston.
