Face Numbers of Centrally Symmetric Polytopes Produced from Split Graphs

چکیده
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 faces.

On Kalai's Conjectures Concerning Centrally Symmetric Polytopes
In 1989 Kalai stated the three conjectures A, B, C of increasing strength concerning face numbers of centrally symmetric convex polytopes. The weakest conjecture,A, became known as the “3-conjecture”. It is well-known that the three conjectures hold in dimensions d ≤ 3. We show that in dimension 4 only conjectures A and B are valid, while conjecture C fails. Furthermore, we show that both conje...
متن کاملHigh-Dimensional Centrally Symmetric Polytopes with Neighborliness Proportional to Dimension
Let A be a d by n matrix, d < n. Let C be the regular cross polytope (octahedron) in R. It has recently been shown that properties of the centrosymmetric polytope P = AC are of interest for finding sparse solutions to the underdetermined system of equations y = Ax; [9]. In particular, it is valuable to know that P is centrally k-neighborly. We study the face numbers of randomly-projected cross-...
متن کاملSmooth 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 کاملEnumeration on words, complexes and polytopes
This thesis presents four papers, studying enumerative problems on combinatorial structures. The first paper studies Forman’s discrete Morse theory in the case where a group acts on the underlying complex. We generalize the notion of a Morse matching, and obtain a theory that can be used to simplify the description of the G-homotopy type of a simplicial complex. The main motivation is the case ...
متن کاملAn Explicit Construction for Neighborly Centrally Symmetric Polytopes
A polytope P ⊂ R is centrally symmetric (cs, for short) if P = −P . A cs polytope P is k-neighborly if every set of k of its vertices, no two of which are antipodes, is the vertex set of a face of P . In their recent paper [7], Linial and Novik give probabilistic constructions for highly neighborly cs polytopes. Namely, based on probabilistic techniques due to Garnaev and Gluskin [4], they cons...
