چکیده

I. Bfirfiny and L. Lovfisz [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hung. 40, 323-329 (1982)] showed that a d-dimensional centrally-symmetric simplicial polytope ~ has at least 2 d facets, and conjectured a lower bound for the number f~ of i-dimensional faces o f ~ in terms ofd and the number f0 = 2n of d vertices. Define integers ho . . . . . he by Z f~-1(x 1) d-' = ~ hi xd-'. A. Bj6rner conjectured (uni=O i=O pub~ished) that hi > (di) (whi~ genera~ize~ the re~u~t ~f B~r~ny~L~v~ since f~-~ = ~ hi), and m°restr°nglythath~-hH>(di)-(i d_.l) l<i<[d/2J , _ _ conjecture of Bfirfiny-Lovfisz. In this paper the conjectures of Bj6rner are proved.

Classification of pseudo-symmetric simplicial reflexive polytopes

Gorenstein toric Fano varieties correspond to so called reflexive polytopes. If such a polytope contains a centrally symmetric pair of facets, we call the polytope, respectively the toric variety, pseudo-symmetric. Here we present a complete classification of pseudo-symmetric simplicial reflexive polytopes. This is a generalization of a result of Ewald on pseudosymmetric nonsingular toric Fano ...

A COMPARISON THEOREM FOR f-VECTORS OF SIMPLICIAL POLYTOPES

Let S(n, d) and C(n, d) denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic d-dimensional polytopes on n vertices. Furthermore, fi(P ) denotes the number of i-dimensional faces of a polytope P . Theorem 1. Let P be a d-dimensional simplicial polytope. Suppose that fr(S(n1, d)) ≤ fr(P ) ≤ fr(C(n2, d)) for some integers n1, n2 and r ≤ d − 2. Then, fs(S(n1, d)) ≤ fs(P ) ≤ fs(C(n2, d)) for all s such ...

A Centrally Symmetric Version of the Cyclic Polytope

We define a centrally symmetric analogue of the cyclic polytope and study its facial structure. We conjecture that our polytopes provide asymptotically the largest number of faces in all dimensions among all centrally symmetric polytopes with n vertices of a given even dimension d = 2k when d is fixed and n grows. For a fixed even dimension d = 2k and an integer 1 ≤ j < k we prove that the maxi...

Face Numbers of Centrally Symmetric Polytopes Produced from Split Graphs

We analyze a remarkable class of centrally symmetric polytopes, the Hansen polytopes of split graphs. We confirm Kalai’s 3d conjecture for such polytopes (they all have at least 3d nonempty faces) and show that the Hanner polytopes among them (which have exactly 3d nonempty faces) correspond to threshold graphs. Our study produces a new family of Hansen polytopes that have only 3d + 16 nonempty...

Centrally symmetric polytopes with many faces

We present explicit constructions of centrally symmetric polytopes with many faces: (1) we construct a d-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope P with about 3d/4 ≈ (1.316)d vertices such that every pair of non-antipodal vertices of P spans an edge of P , (2) for an integer k ≥ 2, we construct a d-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope P of an arbitrarily high dimension d and with an arbitra...
