Lattice polytope representation of natural numbers is introduced based on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The combinatorial and geometric properties of the polytopes are studied using Polymake and Qhull software. The volume of the…
Polygon spaces like $M_\ell=\{(u_1,...,u_n)\in S^1\times... S^1 ;\ \sum_{i=1}^n l_iu_i=0\}/SO(2)$ or they three dimensional analogues $N_\ell$ play an important r\^ole in geometry and topology, and are also of interest in robotics where the…
Our main result is that every n-dimensional polytope can be described by at most (2n-1) polynomial inequalities and, moreover, these polynomials can explicitly be constructed. For an n-dimensional pointed polyhedral cone we prove the bound…
The cosmohedron was recently proposed as a polytope underlying the cosmological wavefunction for $\text{Tr}(\Phi^3)$ theory. Its faces were conjectured to be in bijection with Matryoshkas, which are obtained from a subdivision of a polygon…
The convex hull generated by the restriction to the unit ball of a stationary Poisson point process in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered. By establishing sharp bounds on cumulants, exponential estimates for large deviation…
The aim of this paper is to study alcoved polytopes, which are polytopes arising from affine Coxeter arrangements. This class of convex polytopes includes many classical polytopes, for example, the hypersimplices. We compare two…
A shape of a combinatorial polytope is a convex embedding into Euclidean space. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a piecewise linear map between two shapes of the same polytope to be a compression (respectively a weak…
Speakman and Lee (2017) gave a formula for the volume of the convex hull of the graph of a trilinear monomial, $y=x_1x_2x_3$, over a box in the nonnegative orthant, in terms of the upper and lower bounds on the variables. This was done in…
This is the second paper of a series dedicated to the study of Poisson structures of compact types (PMCTs). In this paper, we focus on regular PMCTs, exhibiting a rich transverse geometry. We show that their leaf spaces are integral affine…
In this paper, we will define general Eulerian numbers and Eulerian polynomials based on general arithmetic progressions. Under the new definitions, we have been successful in extending several well-known properties of traditional Eulerian…
Volume polynomials measure the growth of Minkowski sums of convex bodies and of tensor powers of positive line bundles on projective varieties. We show that Aluffi's covolume polynomials are precisely the polynomial differential operators…
This paper introduces the geometric foundations for the study of the $s$-permutahedron and the $s$-associahedron, two objects that encode the underlying geometric structure of the $s$-weak order and the $s$-Tamari lattice. We introduce the…
We provide formulas and algorithms for computing the excess numbers of certain ideals. The solution for monomial ideals is given by the mixed volumes of certain polytopes. These results enable us to design specific homotopies for numerical…
We investigate the combinatorics and geometry of permutation polytopes associated to cyclic permutation groups, i.e., the convex hulls of cyclic groups of permutation matrices. We give formulas for their dimension and vertex degree. In the…
We consider the computation of the volume of the union of high-dimensional geometric objects. While showing that this problem is #P-hard already for very simple bodies (i.e., axis-parallel boxes), we give a fast FPRAS for all objects where…
Spectrahedra are affine-linear sections of the cone $\mathcal{P}_n$ of positive semidefinite symmetric $n\times n$-matrices. We consider random spectrahedra that are obtained by intersecting~$\mathcal{P}_n$ with the affine-linear space…
We present a simple algorithm for determining the extremal points in Euclidean space whose convex hull is the nth polytope in the sequence known as the multiplihedra. This answers the open question of whether the multiplihedra could be…
A well-known construction of associahedra comes from truncations of simplices. Motivated by compactifications of point configurations, we show associahedra as truncations of certain products of simplices. This is then used to provide a…
We lift to the multivariate Eulerian polynomials the identity implying that univariate Eulerian polynomials are palindromic. As a consequence of this generalization, we obtain nice combinatorial identities that can be directly extracted…
Bisztriczky defines a multiplex as a generalization of a simplex, and an ordinary polytope as a generalization of a cyclic polytope. This paper presents results concerning the combinatorics of multiplexes and ordinary polytopes. The flag…
