Zonotopes With Large 2D Cuts

Abstract

There are d-dimensional zonotopes with n zones for which a 2-dimensional central section has \Omega(n^{d-1}) vertices. For d=3 this was known, with examples provided by the "Ukrainian easter eggs'' by Eppstein et al. Our result is asymptotically optimal for all fixed d>=2.
