Mirkovi\'c--Vilonen (MV) polytopes play a key role in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups, while the geometric behavior of prime MV polytopes under Minkowski addition remains a subtle open problem. This paper focuses on…

We study, in type A, the algebraic cycles (MV-cycles) discovered by I. Mirkovi\'c and K. Vilonen [MV]. In particular, we partition the loop Grassmannian into smooth pieces such that the MV-cycles are their closures. We explicitly describe…

Mirkovi\'c-Vilonen (MV) polytopes are a class of generalized permutahedra originating from geometric representation theory. In this paper we study MV polytopes coming from matroid polytopes, flag matroid polytopes, Bruhat interval…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the Mirkovic-Vilonen (MV for short) polytope corresponding to the tensor product of two arbitrary MV polytopes is contained in the Minkowski sum of these two MV polytopes. This generalizes the…

We give an explicit description of the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles on the affine Grassmannian for arbitrary complex reductive groups. We also give a combinatorial characterization of the MV polytopes. We prove that a polytope is an MV polytope…

We describe how Mirkovic-Vilonen polytopes arise naturally from the categorification of Lie algebras using Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras. This gives an explicit description of the unique crystal isomorphism between simple representations…

Mirkovic-Vilonen (MV) polytopes have proven to be a useful tool in understanding and unifying many constructions of crystals for finite-type Kac-Moody algebras. These polytopes arise naturally in many places, including the affine…

We realize affine Mirkovi{\'c}-Vilonen polytopes using Littelmann's path model in the framework of masures. We are also able to read the decorations on the paths in the case of sl2.

Alcoved polytopes are characterized by the property that all facet normal directions are parallel to the roots $e_i-e_j$. Unlike other prominent families of polytopes, like generalized permutahedra, alcoved polytopes are not closed under…

Monotone path polytopes arise as a special case of the construction of fiber polytopes, introduced by Billera and Sturmfels. A simple example is provided by the permutahedron, which is a monotone path polytope of the standard unit cube. The…

Minkowski sums cover a wide range of applications in many different fields like algebra, morphing, robotics, mechanical CAD/CAM systems ... This paper deals with sums of polytopes in a n dimensional space provided that both H-representation…

In the early 1990's, Billera and Sturmfels introduced the monotone path polytope (MPP), a special case of the general theory of fiber polytopes that associates a polytope to a pair $(P,\varphi)$ of a polytope $P$ and linear functional…

We show that for polytopes P_1, P_2, ..., P_r \subset \R^d, each having n_i \ge d+1 vertices, the Minkowski sum P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_r cannot achieve the maximum of \prod_i n_i vertices if r \ge d. This complements a recent result of Fukuda…

The monotone path polytope of a polytope $P$ encapsulates the combinatorial behavior of the shadow vertex rule (a pivot rule used in linear programming) on $P$. Computing monotone path polytopes is the entry door to the larger subject of…

The fusion of two Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles is a degeneration of their product, defined using the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian. In this paper, we put in place a conceptually elementary approach to computing this product in type $A$. We do…

Very recently, Galashin, Postnikov, and Williams introduced the notion of higher secondary polytopes, generalizing the secondary polytope of Gelfand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky. Given an $n$-point configuration $\mathcal{A}$ in…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply-connected, and almost simple algebraic group, and let $\sigma$ be a Dynkin automorphism on $G$. In this paper, we get a bijection between the set of $\st$-invariant MV cycles (polytopes) for $G$ and the set of…

We express cluster variables of type $B_n$ and $C_n$ in terms of cluster variables of type $A_n$. Then we associate a cluster tilted bound symmetric quiver $Q$ of type $A_{2n-1}$ to any seed of a cluster algebra of type $B_n$ and $C_n$.…
