The hypermetric cone $HYP_n$ is the set of vectors $(d_{ij})_{1\leq i< j\leq n}$ satisfying the inequalities $\sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n} b_ib_jd_{ij}\leq 0 with b_i\in\Z and \sum_{i=1}^{n}b_i=1$. A Delaunay polytope of a lattice is called…
Given a lattice $L$, a full dimensional polytope $P$ is called a {\em Delaunay polytope} if the set of its vertices is $S\cap L$ with $S$ being an {\em empty sphere} of the lattice. Extending our previous work \cite{DD-hyp} on the {\em…
For a lattice $L$ of $R^n$, a sphere $S(c,r)$ of center $c$ and radius $r$ is called {\em empty} if for any $v\in L$ we have $\Vert v - c\Vert \geq r$. Then the set $S(c,r)\cap L$ is the vertex set of a {\em Delaunay polytope}…
The {\em hypermetric cone} is defined as the cone of semimetrics satisfying the {\em hypermetric inequalities}. Every {\em Delaunay polytope} corresponds to a ray of this polyhedral cone. The Delaunay polytopes, which correspond to extreme…
A lattice Delaunay polytope D is called perfect if it has the property that there is a unique circumscribing ellipsoid with interior free of lattice points, and with the surface containing only those lattice points that are the vertices of…
A lattice Delaunay polytope is known as perfect if the only ellipsoid, that can be circumscribed about it, is its Delaunay sphere. Perfect Delaunay polytopes are in one-to-one correspondence with arithmetic equivalence classes of positive…
In his seminal 1951 paper "Extreme forms" Coxeter \cite{cox51} observed that for $n \ge 9$ one can add vectors to the perfect lattice $\sfA_9$ so that the resulting perfect lattice, called $\sfA_9^2$ by Coxeter, has exactly the same set of…
A polytope $D$ whose vertices belong to a lattice of rank $d$ is Delaunay if there is a circumscribing $d$-dimensional ellipsoid, $E$, with interior free of lattice points so that the vertices of $D$ lie on $E$. If in addition, the…
A perfect (Delaunay) ellipsoid is an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space that does not contain integral points in its interior, but is uniquely defined by integral points that lie on its surface. A perfect Delaunay polytope with…
A lattice Delaunay polytope P is called perfect if its Delaunay sphere is the only ellipsoid circumscribed about P. We present a new algorithm for finding perfect Delaunay polytopes. Our method overcomes the major shortcomings of the…
The "edge polytope" of a finite graph G is the convex hull of the columns of its vertex-edge incidence matrix. We study extremal problems for this class of polytopes. For k =2, 3, 5 we determine the maximum number of vertices of…
We define the excess degree $\xi(P)$ of a $d$-polytope $P$ as $2f_1-df_0$, where $f_0$ and $f_1$ denote the number of vertices and edges, respectively. This parameter measures how much $P$ deviates from being simple. It turns out that the…
We prove that for any $n\geq 4$ there are infinitely many real homotopy types of $2n$-dimensional nilmanifolds admitting generalized complex structures of every type $k$, for $0 \leq k \leq n$. This is in deep contrast to the…
We introduce a notion of essential hyperbolic Coxeter polytope as a polytope which fits some minimality conditions. The problem of classification of hyperbolic reflection groups can be easily reduced to classification of essential Coxeter…
Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope $P$ is defined to be the minimum number of facets of a (possibly…
We construct a large family of neighborly polytopes that can be realized with all the vertices on the boundary of any smooth strictly convex body. In particular, we show that there are superexponentially many combinatorially distinct…
The $n$-grid $E_n$ consists of $n$ equally spaced points in $[-1,1]$ including the endpoints $\pm 1$. The extremal polynomial $p_n^*$ is the polynomial that maximizes the uniform norm $\| p \|_{[-1,1]}$ among polynomials $p$ of degree $\leq…
Roughly speaking, the rank of a Delaunay polytope (first introduced in \cite{DGL92}) is its number of degrees of freedom. In \cite{DL}, a method for computing the rank of a Delaunay polytope $P$ using the hypermetrics related to $P$ is…
Delaunay has shown that the Delaunay complex of a finite set of points $P$ of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^m$ triangulates the convex hull of $P$, provided that $P$ satisfies a mild genericity property. Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay…
We construct an infinite family of 4-polytopes whose realization spaces have dimension smaller or equal to 96. This in particular settles a problem going back to Legendre and Steinitz: whether and how the dimension of the realization space…
