We determine (non-necessarily convex) polyhedra having simple dense geodesics.
We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n -> infinity, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the fraction that overlap approaches 1. Nevertheless, each does…
A Kokotsakis polyhedron with quadrangular base is a neighborhood of a quadrilateral in a quad surface. Generically, a Kokotsakis polyhedron is rigid. Up to now, several flexible classes were known, but a complete classification was missing.…
We present a short proof of S. Parsa's theorem that there exists a compact $n$-polyhedron $P$, $n\ge 2$, non-embeddable in $\mathbb R^{2n}$, such that $P*P$ embeds in $\mathbb R^{4n+2}$. This proof can serve as a showcase for the use of…
We prove that, for any two polyhedral manifolds $\mathcal P,\mathcal Q$, there is a polyhedral manifold $\mathcal I$ such that $\mathcal P,\mathcal I$ share a common unfolding and $\mathcal I,\mathcal Q$ share a common unfolding. In other…
Graph associahedra are generalized permutohedra arising as special cases of nestohedra and hypergraphic polytopes. The graph associahedron of a graph $G$ encodes the combinatorics of search trees on $G$, defined recursively by a root $r$…
Combinatorial Hopf algebras of trees exemplify the connections between operads and bialgebras. Painted trees were introduced recently as examples of how graded Hopf operads can bequeath Hopf structures upon compositions of coalgebras. We…
An unzipping of a polyhedron P is a cut-path through its vertices that unfolds P to a non-overlapping shape in the plane. It is an open problem to decide if every convex P has an unzipping. Here we show that there are nearly flat convex…
Given any finite set of nonnegative integers, there exists a closed convex set whose facial dimension signature coincides with this set of integers, that is, the dimensions of its nonempty faces comprise exactly this set of integers. In…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate order of contact on real hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^n$ by using Newton polyhedra which are important notion in the study of singularity theory. To be more precise, an equivalence condition for…
We utilize the coherent-constructible correspondence to construct full strongly exceptional collections of nef line bundles in the derived category of a toric variety through the combinatorics of constructible sheaves built from polytopes.…
For a generalized permutohedron $Q$ the enumerator $F(Q)$ of positive lattice points in interiors of maximal cones of the normal fan $\Sigma_Q$ is a quasisymmetric function. We describe this function for the class of nestohedra as a Hopf…
A polyiamond is a polygon composed of unit equilateral triangles, and a generalized deltahedron is a convex polyhedron whose every face is a convex polyiamond. We study a variant where one face may be an exception. For a convex polygon P,…
We propose a simple formula for the coordinates of the vertices of the Stasheff polytope (associahedron) and we compare it to the permutohedron.
We define a new class of orthogonal polyhedra, called orthogrids, that can be unfolded without overlap with constant refinement of the gridded surface.
It is known that polytopes with at most two nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their graphs, and that $d$-polytopes with at most $d-2$ nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their 2-skeletons. Here we close the gap between 2…
In 1956, Tutte showed that every planar 4-connected graph is hamiltonian. In this article, we will generalize this result and prove that polyhedra with at most three 3-cuts are hamiltonian. In 2002 Jackson and Yu have shown this result for…
Cyclohedra are a well-known infinite familiy of finite-dimensional polytopes that can be constructed from centrally symmetric triangulations of even-sided polygons. In this article we introduce an infinite-dimensional analogue and prove…
For any $r\geq 1$ and $\mathbf{n} \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}^r \setminus \{\mathbf0\}$ we construct a poset $W_{\mathbf{n}}$ called a 2-associahedron. The 2-associahedra arose in symplectic geometry, where they are expected to control maps…
Presheaves and nominal sets provide alternative abstract models of sets of syntactic objects with free and bound variables, such as lambda-terms. One distinguishing feature of the presheaf-based perspective is its elegant syntax-free…
