چکیده

Realisations of associahedra can be obtained from the classical permutahedron by removing some of its facets and the set of facets is determined by the diagonals of certain labeled convex planar n-gons as shown by Hohlweg and Lange (2007). Ardila, Benedetti, and Doker (2010) expressed polytopes of this type as Minkowski sums and differences of scaled faces of a standard simplex and computed the corresponding coefficients yI by Möbius inversion from the zI if tight right-hand sides zI for all inequalities of the permutahedron are assumed. Given an associahedron of Hohlweg and Lange, we first characterise all tight values zI in terms of non-crossing diagonals of the associated labeled n-gon, simplify the formula of Ardila et al., and characterise the remaining terms combinatorially. Résumé. Dans un article paru en 2007, Hohlweg et Lange décrivent des associaèdres réalisés à partir du permutoédre en enlevant certaines de ses facettes. Ces facettes sont déterminées par les diagonales d’une famille de n-gones étiquetés. En 2010, Ardila, Benedetti et Doker ont montré que ces polytopes s’expriment par des sommes et différences de Minkowski de faces pondérées d’un simplexe. De plus, si les coefficients zI des inégalités décrivant l’associaèdre à partir du permutoédre sont optimaux, alors les coefficients yI correspondants sont calculés par une inversion de Möbius. Étant donné un tel associaèdre, nous décrivons d’abord les valeurs optimales zI en termes de diagonales non croisées d’un certain n-gone étiqueté, ensuite nous simplifions la formule de Ardila et al. pour finalement décrire combinatoirement les termes restants.

Brick Polytopes of Spherical Subword Complexes: a New Approach to Generalized Associahedra

We generalize the brick polytope of V. Pilaud and F. Santos to spherical subword complexes for finite Coxeter groups. This construction provides polytopal realizations for a certain class of subword complexes containing all cluster complexes of finite types. For the latter, the brick polytopes turn out to coincide with the known realizations of generalized associahedra, thus opening new perspec...

Minkowski Decomposition of Associahedra and Related Combinatorics

Realisations of associahedra with linear non-isomorphic normal fans can be obtained by alteration of the right-hand sides of the facet-defining inequalities from a classical permutahedron. These polytopes can be expressed as Minkowski sums and differences of dilated faces of a standard simplex as described by Ardila, Benedetti & Doker (2010). The coefficients yI of such a Minkowski decompositio...
