We show that several classes of polyhedra are joined by a sequence of O(1) refolding steps, where each refolding step unfolds the current polyhedron (allowing cuts anywhere on the surface and allowing overlap) and folds that unfolding into…
This article introduces the theory of Veronese polytopes, a broad generalisation of cyclic polytopes. These arise as convex hulls of points on curves with one or more connected components, obtained as the image of the rational normal curve…
A $P_{k+2}$ polynomial lifting operator is defined on polygons and polyhedrons. It lifts discontinuous polynomials inside the polygon/polyhedron and on the faces to a one-piece $P_{k+2}$ polynomial. With this lifting operator, we prove that…
We introduce the polytope of pointed pseudo-triangulations of a point set in the plane, defined as the polytope of infinitesimal expansive motions of the points subject to certain constraints on the increase of their distances. Its…
We consider the action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on the permutahedron $\Pi_n$. We prove that if $\sigma$ is a permutation of $S_n$ which has $m$ cycles of lengths $l_1, \ldots, l_m$, then the subpolytope of $\Pi_n$ fixed by $\sigma$ has…
In a d-simplex every facet is a (d-1)-simplex. We consider as generalized simplices other combinatorial classes of polytopes, all of whose facets are in the class. Cubes and multiplexes are two such classes of generalized simplices. In this…
We give the facet description of the deformation cones of graph associahedra and nestohedra, generalizing the classical parametrization of the family of deformed permutahedra by the cone of submodular functions. When the underlying building…
We define higher polyhedral K-groups for commutative rings, starting from the stable groups of elementary automorphisms of polyhedral algebras. Both Volodin's theory and Quillen's + construction are developed. In the special case of…
In this paper we first describe the geometry of the Newton polyhedra of polynomials invariant under certain linear Hamiltonian circle actions. From the geometry of the polyhedra, various Poisson structures on the orbit spaces of the actions…
We compute the expansion of the cohomology class of the permutahedral variety in the basis of Schubert classes. The resulting structure constants $a_w$ are expressed as a sum of \emph{normalized} mixed Eulerian numbers indexed naturally by…
In this paper we give an affirmative answer to the following question posed by Daryl Cooper: If one lengthens the sides of a tetrahedron by one unit, is the result still a tetrahedron and (if so) does the volume increase? Our proof involves…
Computing mixed volume of convex polytopes is an important problem in computational algebraic geometry. This paper establishes sufficient conditions under which the mixed volume of several convex polytopes exactly equals the normalized…
In this paper we define and investigate a class of polytopes which we call "vertex generated" consisting of polytopes which are the average of their $0$ and $n$ dimensional faces. We show many results regarding this class, among them: that…
A beautiful result of Br\"ocker and Scheiderer on the stability index of basic closed semi-algebraic sets implies, as a very special case, that every $d$-dimensional polyhedron admits a representation as the set of solutions of at most…
The face poset of the permutohedron realizes the combinatorics of linearly ordered partitions of the set $[n]=\{1,...,n\}$. Similarly, the cyclopermutohedron is a virtual polytope that realizes the combinatorics of cyclically ordered…
We present a sheaf-theoretic construction of shape space -- the space of all shapes. We do this by describing a homotopy sheaf on the poset category of constructible sets, where each set is mapped to its Persistent Homology Transform (PHT).…
We show that accordiohedra furnish polytopes which encode amplitudes for all massive scalar field theories with generic interactions. This is done by deriving integral formulae for the Feynman diagrams at tree level and integrands at one…
We introduce Lipschitz functions on a finite partially ordered set $P$ and study the associated Lipschitz polytope $L(P)$. The geometry of $L(P)$ can be described in terms of descent-compatible permutations and permutation statistics that…
We study the natural extended-variable formulation for the disjunction of $n+1$ polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We demonstrate that the convex hull $D$ in the natural extended-variable space $\mathbb{R}^{d+n}$ is given by full optimal big-M…
A concept of generalized regular polytope is introduced in this work. The number of its (1...n-1)-dimensional elements is not necessarily integer, though all the combinatorial and metric properties meet those of regular polytopes in a…
