A Note on Palindromic Δ-vectors for Certain Rational Polytopes

چکیده
Let P be a convex polytope containing the origin, whose dual is a lattice polytope. Hibi’s Palindromic Theorem tells us that if P is also a lattice polytope then the Ehrhart δ-vector of P is palindromic. Perhaps less well-known is that a similar result holds when P is rational. We present an elementary lattice-point proof of this fact.

Ehrhart polynomials of convex polytopes with small volumes
Let P ⊂ R be an integral convex polytope of dimension d and δ(P) = (δ0, δ1, . . . , δd) be its δ-vector. By using the known inequalities on δ-vectors, we classify the possible δ-vectors of convex polytopes of dimension d with P
متن کاملEhrhart f*-Coefficients of Polytopal Complexes are Non-negative Integers
The Ehrhart polynomial LP of an integral polytope P counts the number of integer points in integral dilates of P . Ehrhart polynomials of polytopes are often described in terms of their Ehrhart h∗-vector (aka Ehrhart δ-vector), which is the vector of coefficients of LP with respect to a certain binomial basis and which coincides with the h-vector of a regular unimodular triangulation of P (if o...
متن کاملThe δ-vectors of reflexive polytopes and of the dual polytopes
Abstract. Let δ(P) be the δ-vector of a reflexive polytope P ⊂ R of dimension d and δ(P) the δ-vector of the dual polytope P ⊂ R. In general, δ(P) = δ(P) does not hold. In this paper, we give a higher-dimensional construction of a reflexive polytope whose δ-vector equals the δ-vector of the dual polytope. In particular, we consider the case that the reflexive polytope and the dual polytope are ...
متن کاملFace Numbers of 4-Polytopes and 3-Spheres
Steinitz (1906) gave a remarkably simple and explicit description of the set of all f -vectors f(P ) = (f0, f1, f2) of all 3-dimensional convex polytopes. His result also identifies the simple and the simplicial 3-dimensional polytopes as the only extreme cases. Moreover, it can be extended to strongly regular CW 2-spheres (topological objects), and further to Eulerian lattices of length 4 (com...
متن کاملConvex Polytopes: Extremal Constructions and f -Vector Shapes
These lecture notes treat some current aspects of two closely interrelated topics from the theory of convex polytopes: the shapes of f -vectors, and extremal constructions. The study of f -vectors has had huge successes in the last forty years. The most fundamental one is undoubtedly the “g-theorem,” conjectured by McMullen in 1971 and proved by Billera & Lee and Stanley in 1980, which characte...
