For a reduced word ${\bf i}$ of the longest element in the Weyl group of $\mathrm{SL}_{n+1}(\mathbb{C})$, one can associate the string cone $C_{\bf i}$ which parametrizes the dual canonical bases. In this paper, we classify all ${\bf i}$'s…

A string polytope is a rational convex polytope whose lattice points parametrize a highest weight crystal basis, which is obtained from a string cone by explicit affine inequalities depending on a highest weight. It also inherits geometric…

The main result of this note is that the toric degenerations of flag varieties associated to string polytopes and certain Bott-Samelson resolutions of flag varieties fit into a commutative diagram which gives a resolution of singularities…
