Neighborly cubical polytopes exist: for any $n\ge d\ge 2r+2$, there is a cubical convex d-polytope $C^n_d$ whose $r$-skeleton is combinatorially equivalent to that of the $n$-dimensional cube. This solves a problem of Babson, Billera &…

We tackle the problem of a combinatorial classification of finite metric spaces via their fundamental polytopes, as suggested by Vershik in 2010. In this paper we consider a hyperplane arrangement associated to every split pseudometric and,…

A matroid $M$ is an ordered pair $(E,I)$, where $E$ is a finite set called the ground set and a collection $I\subset 2^{E}$ called the independent sets which satisfy the conditions: (i) $\emptyset \in I$, (ii) $I'\subset I \in I$ implies…

We give an explicit combinatorial description of the two-dimensional faces of both the order polytope $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and the chain polytope $\mathcal{C}(P)$ of a partially ordered set $P$. Using these descriptions, we show that for any…

Multiple orthogonal polynomials are traditionally studied because of their connections to number theory and approximation theory. In recent years they were found to be connected to certain models in random matrix theory. In this paper we…

This article gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a relation to be the containment relation between the facets and vertices of a polytope. Also given here, are a set of matrices parameterizing the linear moduli space and another…

Efficiently enumerating all the extreme points of a polytope identified by a system of linear inequalities is a well-known challenge issue.We consider a special case and present an algorithm that enumerates all the extreme points of a…

We give an explicit construction, based on Hadamard matrices, for an infinite series of floor{sqrt{d}/2}-neighborly centrally symmetric d-dimensional polytopes with 4d vertices. This appears to be the best explicit version yet of a recent…

This paper proposes a novel and simple algorithm of facet enumeration for convex polytopes. The complexity of the algorithm is discussed. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab. Some simple polytopes with known H-representations and…

We present a simple proof of the fact that the base (and independence) polytope of a rank $n$ regular matroid over $m$ elements has an extension complexity $O(mn)$.

This thesis deals with the enumerative study of combinatorial maps, and its application to the enumeration of other combinatorial objects. Combinatorial maps, or simply maps, form a rich combinatorial model. They have an intuitive and…

A $3$-dimensional polytope $P$ is $k$-equiprojective when the projection of $P$ along any line that is not parallel to a facet of $P$ is a polygon with $k$ vertices. In 1968, Geoffrey Shephard asked for a description of all equiprojective…

For a $(d-1)$-dimensional simplicial complex $\Delta$ and $1\leq i\leq d$, let $f_{i-1}$ be the number of $(i-1)$-faces of $\Delta$ and $m_i$ be the number of missing $i$-faces of $\Delta$. In the nineties, Kalai asked for a…

A permutation polytope is the convex hull of a group of permutation matrices. In this paper we investigate the combinatorics of permutation polytopes and their faces. As applications we completely classify permutation polytopes in…

Luis Ferroni and Alex Fink recently introduced a polytope of all unlabeled matroids of rank $r$ on $n$ elements, and they showed that the vertices of this polytope come from matroids that can be characterized by maximizing a sequence of…

A three-tope committee K* for a simple oriented matroid M is a 3-subset of its maximal covectors such that every positive halfspace of M contains at least two topes from K*. We consider three-tope committees as the vertex sets of triangles…

It is well known that linear rank-metric codes give rise to q-polymatroids. Analogously to matroid theory one may ask whether a given q-polymatroid is representable by a rank-metric code. We provide an answer by presenting an example of a…

The M\"obius polynomial is an invariant of ranked posets, closely related to the M\"obius function. In this paper, we study the M\"obius polynomial of face posets of convex polytopes. We present formulas for computing the M\"obius…

The concept of representing a polytope that is associated with some combinatorial optimization problem as a linear projection of a higher-dimensional polyhedron has recently received increasing attention. In this paper (written for the…

A combinatorial neural code $\mathscr C\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ is convex if it arises as the intersection pattern of convex open subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. We relate the emerging theory of convex neural codes to the established theory of oriented…
