Realizing the $s$-permutahedron via flow polytopes
Abstract
Ceballos and Pons introduced the -weak order on -decreasing trees, for any weak composition . They proved that it has a lattice structure and further conjectured that it can be realized as the -skeleton of a polyhedral subdivision of a polytope. We answer their conjecture in the case where is a strict composition by providing three geometric realizations of the -permutahedron. The first one is the dual graph of a triangulation of a flow polytope of high dimension. The second one, obtained using the Cayley trick, is the dual graph of a fine mixed subdivision of a sum of hypercubes that has the conjectured dimension. The third one, obtained using tropical geometry, is the -skeleton of a polyhedral complex for which we can provide explicit coordinates of the vertices and whose support is a permutahedron as conjectured.
