Calogero-Moser systems can be generalized for any root system (including the non-crystallographic cases). The algebraic linearization of the generalized Calogero-Moser systems and of their quadratic (resp. quartic) perturbations are…
When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group $\Gamma$ is reduced modulo an odd prime $p$, a finite representation in some orthogonal space over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is obtained. If $\Gamma$ has a string diagram, the latter…
According to Euler's relation any polytope P has as many faces of even dimension as it has faces of odd dimension. As a generalization of this fact one can compare the number of faces whose dimension is congruent to i modulo m with the…
Let $P\subset \mathbb R^n$ be a belt polytope, that is a polytope whose normal fan coincides with the fan of some hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal A$. Also, let $G:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^d$ be a linear map of full rank whose kernel is in…
We associate root polytopes to directed graphs and study them by using ribbon structures. Most attention is paid to what we call the semi-balanced case, i.e., when each cycle has the same number of edges pointing in the two directions.…
Given a finite set of lattice points, we compare its sumsets and lattice points in its dilated convex hulls. Both of these are known to grow as polynomials. Generally, the former are subsets of the latter. In this paper, we will see that…
The degree partition of a simple graph is its degree sequence rearranged in weakly decreasing order. The polytope of degree partitions (respectively, degree sequences) is the convex hull of all degree partitions (respectively, degree…
The tree-level scattering amplitudes for $\text{tr}(\phi^3)$ theory can be interpreted as a sum over the vertices of a polytope known as the associahedron. For each graph $G$, there exists a natural generalisation of the associahedron,…
We investigate graded retracts of polytopal algebras (essentially the homogeneous rings of affine cones over projective toric varieties) as polytopal analogues of vector spaces. In many cases we show that these retracts are again polytopal…
Motivated by the theory of cluster algebras, F. Chapoton, S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky associated to each finite type root system a simple convex polytope called \emph{generalized associahedron}. They provided an explicit realization of this…
Abstract polytopes generalize the face lattice of convex polytopes. A polytope is semiregular if its facets are regular and its automorphism group acts transitively on its vertices. In this paper we construct semiregular, facet-transitive…
A Gelfand-Cetlin polytope is a convex polytope obtained as an image of certain completely integrable system on a partial flag variety. In this paper, we give an equivalent description of the face structure of a GC-polytope in terms of so…
Let $\mathbf{v}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{v}_m$ be points in a metric space with distance $d$, and let $w_1,\ldots,w_m$ be positive real weights. The weighted Fermat-Weber points are those points $\mathbf{x}$ which minimize $\sum w_i d(\mathbf{v}_i,…
The type-PQ adjacency polytope associated to a simple graph is a $0/1$-polytope containing valuable information about an underlying power network. Chen and the first author have recently demonstrated that, when the underlying graph $G$ is…
We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications…
We compute the cohomology of the complement of toric arrangements associated to root systems as representations of the corresponding Weyl groups. Specifically, we develop an algorithm for computing the cohomology of the complement of toric…
We define a special sort of weighted oriented graphs, signed quivers. Each of these yields a symmetric quiver, i.e., a quiver endowed with an involutive anti-automorphism and the inherited signs. We develop a representation theory of…
Letting $P$ be a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $n>d$ vertices, we study geometric and analytical properties of the set of generalized barycentric coordinates relative to any point $p\in P$. We prove that such sets are polytopes in…
We introduce and study a family of simplicial complexes associated to an arbitrary finite root system and a nonnegative integer parameter m. For m=1, our construction specializes to the (simplicial) generalized associahedra or,…
