Flow polytopes and the graph of reflexive polytopes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We suggest defining the structure of an unoriented graph Rd on the set of reflexive polytopes of a fixed dimension d. The edges are induced by easy mutations of the polytopes to create the possibility of walks along connected components inside this graph. For this, we consider two types of mutations: Those provided by performing duality via nef-partitions, and those arising from varying the lattice. Then for d ≤ 3, we identify the flow polytopes among the reflexive polytopes of each single component of the graph Rd. For this, we present for any dimension d ≥ 2 an explicit finite list of quivers giving all d-dimensional reflexive flow polytopes up to lattice isomorphisms. We deduce as an application that any such polytope has at most 6(d− 1) facets.

Smooth Fano Polytopes Arising from Finite Directed Graphs
In this paper, we consider terminal reflexive polytopes arising from finite directed graphs and study the problem of deciding which directed graphs yield smooth Fano polytopes. We show that any centrally symmetric or pseudosymmetric smooth Fano polytopes can be obtained from directed graphs. Moreover, by using directed graphs, we provide new examples of smooth Fano polytopes whose corresponding...
متن کاملLinear Programming, the Simplex Algorithm and Simple Polytopes
In the first part of the paper we survey some far reaching applications of the basis facts of linear programming to the combinatorial theory of simple polytopes. In the second part we discuss some recent developments concurring the simplex algorithm. We describe sub-exponential randomized pivot roles and upper bounds on the diameter of graphs of polytopes.
متن کاملClassification 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 ...
متن کاملReflexive Polytopes of Higher Index
We introduce reflexive polytopes of index l as a natural generalisation of the notion of a reflexive polytope of index 1. These l-reflexive polytopes also appear as dual pairs. In dimension two we show that they arise from reflexive polygons via a change of the underlying lattice. This allows us to efficiently classify all isomorphism classes of l-reflexive polygons up to index 200. As another ...
متن کاملOn the Statistics of Lattice Polytopes
We use the notions of reflexivity and of reflexive dimensions in order to introduce probability measures for lattice polytopes and initiate the investigation of their statistical properties. Examples of applications to discrete geometry include a study of randomness of self-duality of reflexive polytopes and implications for expectation values of the numbers of such polytopes in higher dimensio...
