The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…
The main result of this paper is a proof that a nearly flat, acutely triangulated convex cap C in R^3 has an edge-unfolding to a non-overlapping polygon in the plane. A convex cap is the intersection of the surface of a convex polyhedron…
We study efficient combinatorial algorithms to produce the Hasse diagram of the poset of bounded faces of an unbounded polyhedron, given vertex-facet incidences. We also discuss the special case of simple polyhedra and present computational…
Alcoved polytopes are convex polytopes, which are the closure of a union of alcoves in an affine Coxeter arrangement. They are rational polytopes and, therefore, have Ehrhart quasipolynomials. Here we describe a method for computing the…
In this paper we study the commensurability of hyperbolic Coxeter groups of finite covolume, providing three necessary conditions for commensurability. Moreover we tackle different topics around the field of definition of a hyperbolic…
We consider simplicial polytopes, and more general simplicial complexes, without missing faces above a fixed dimension. Sharp analogues of McMullen's generalized lower bounds, and of Barnette's lower bounds, are conjectured for these…
Consider an orthogonal polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron where (at least after a suitable rotation) all faces are perpendicular to a coordinate axis, and hence all edges are parallel to a coordinate axis. Clearly, any facial angle and any…
A closed quasigeodesic is a closed curve on the surface of a polyhedron with at most $180^\circ$ of surface on both sides at all points; such curves can be locally unfolded straight. In 1949, Pogorelov proved that every convex polyhedron…
We associate cube complexes called completions to each subgroup of a right-angled Coxeter group (RACG). A completion characterizes many properties of the subgroup such as whether it is quasiconvex, normal, finite-index or torsion-free. We…
Given a set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, a hollow polytope has vertices in $S$ but contains no other point of $S$ in its interior. We prove upper and lower bounds on the maximum number of vertices of hollow polytopes whose facets are…
Let $\mathscr{O}(P)$ and $\mathscr{C}(P)$ denote the order polytope and chain polytope, respectively, associated with a finite poset $P$. We prove the following result: if $P$ is a maximal ranked poset, then the number of triangular…
We completely characterize the faces of the root polytope $\tilde Q_G = \text{conv}\{\mathbf 0, \mathbf e_i - \mathbf e_j\: (i,j) \in E(G)\}$ combinatorially. Our results specialize to state of the art results in a straightforward way.
We study $n$-vertex $d$-dimensional polytopes with at most one nonsimplex facet with, say, $d+s$ vertices, called {\it almost simplicial polytopes}. We provide tight lower and upper bound theorems for these polytopes as functions of $d,n$…
This is the second of two papers where we study polytopes arising from affine Coxeter arrangements. Our results include a formula for their volumes, and also compatible definitions of hypersimplices, descent numbers and major index for all…
The complexity class DP is the class of all languages that are the intersection of a language in NP and a language in coNP. It was conjectured that recognizing a facet for the knapsack polytope is DP-complete. We provide a positive answer…
For any finite set $\A$ of $n$ points in $\R^2$, we define a $(3n-3)$-dimensional simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of ``non-crossing marked graphs'' with vertex set $\A$, where a marked graph is defined as a…
The paper is devoted to perfect and almost perfect homogeneous polytopes in Euclidean spaces. We classified perfect and almost perfect polytopes among all regular polytopes and all semiregular polytopes excepting Archimedean solids and two…
Given a finite quiver (directed graph) without loops and multiedges, the convex hull of the column vector of the incidence matrix is called the directed edge polytope and is an interesting example of lattice polytopes. In this paper, we…
Wythoff's construction associates a uniform polytope to a Coxeter diagram whose vertices are decorated with crosses, which indicate the subgroup stabilizing a generic point. Champagne, Kjiri, Patera, and Sharp remarked that by associating…
We show that there is no compact hyperbolic Coxeter d-polytope with d+4 facets for d>7. This bound is sharp: examples of such polytopes up to dimension 7 were found by Bugaenko (1984). We also show that in dimension d=7 the polytope with 11…
