ON q-INTEGRALS OVER ORDER POLYTOPES
نویسنده
چکیده
A combinatorial study of multiple q-integrals is developed. This includes a q-volume of a convex polytope, which depends upon the order of q-integration. A multiple q-integral over an order polytope of a poset is interpreted as a generating function of linear extensions of the poset. Specific modifications of posets are shown to give predictable changes in q-integrals over their respective order polytopes. This method is used to combinatorially evaluate some generalized q-beta integrals. One such application is a combinatorial interpretation of a q-Selberg integral. New generating functions for generalized Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns and reverse plane partitions are established. A q-analogue to a well known result in Ehrhart theory is generalized using q-volumes and q-Ehrhart polynomials.

Integrals Over Polytopes, Multiple Zeta Values and Polylogarithms, and Euler’s Constant
Let T be the triangle with vertices (1,0), (0,1), (1,1). We study certain integrals over T , one of which was computed by Euler. We give expressions for them both as a linear combination of multiple zeta values, and as a polynomial in single zeta values. We obtain asymptotic expansions of the integrals, and of sums of certain multiple zeta values with constant weight. We also give related expre...
متن کاملGorenstein Fano Polytopes Arising from Order Polytopes and Chain Polytopes
Richard Stanley introduced the order polytope O(P ) and the chain polytope C(P ) arising from a finite partially ordered set P , and showed that the Ehrhart polynomial of O(P ) is equal to that of C(P ). In addition, the unimodular equivalence problem of O(P ) and C(P ) was studied by the first author and Nan Li. In the present paper, three integral convex polytopes Γ(O(P ),−O(Q)), Γ(O(P ),−C(Q...
متن کاملExact Euler Maclaurin Formulas for Simple Lattice Polytopes
Euler Maclaurin formulas for a polytope express the sum of the values of a function over the lattice points in the polytope in terms of integrals of the function and its derivatives over faces of the polytope or its dilations. There are two kinds of Euler Maclaurin formulas: exact formulas, which apply to exponential or polynomial functions, and formulas with remainder, which apply to arbitrary...
متن کاملComputing Differential Equations for Integrals Associated to Smooth Fano Polytopes
we give an approximate algorithm of computing holonomic systems of linear differential equations for definite integrals with parameters. We show that this algorithm gives a correct answer in finite steps, but we have no general stopping condition. We apply the approximate method to find differential equations for integrals associated to smooth Fano polytopes. They are interested in the study of...
متن کاملAlexander Duality for Projections of Polytopes
An affine projection π : P p → Qq of convex polytopes induces an inclusion map of the face posets i : F(Q) → F(P ). We define an order-preserving map of posets h : F(P ) → Suspp−qF(Q) such that for any filter J of Suspp−qF(Q), the map h restricts to a homotopy equivalence between the order complexes of h−1(J) and J . As applications we prove (1) A conjecture of Stanley [11] concerning the relat...
