Minkowski valuations on lattice polytopes

چکیده
A complete classification is established of Minkowski valuations on lattice polytopes that intertwine the special linear group over the integers and are translation invariant. In the contravariant case, the only such valuations are multiples of projection bodies. In the equivariant case, the only such valuations are generalized difference bodies combined with multiples of the newly defined discrete Steiner point. 2000 AMS subject classification: 52B20, 52B45

Local tensor valuations on convex polytopes
Local versions of the Minkowski tensors of convex bodies in ndimensional Euclidean space are introduced. An extension of Hadwiger’s characterization theorem for the intrinsic volumes, due to Alesker, states that the continuous, isometry covariant valuations on the space of convex bodies with values in the vector space of symmetric p-tensors are linear combinations of modified Minkowski tensors....
متن کاملMinkowski Length of 3D Lattice Polytopes
We study the Minkowski length L(P ) of a lattice polytope P , which is defined to be the largest number of non-trivial primitive segments whose Minkowski sum lies in P . The Minkowski length represents the largest possible number of factors in a factorization of polynomials with exponent vectors in P , and shows up in lower bounds for the minimum distance of toric codes. In this paper we give a...
متن کاملOn f-vectors of Minkowski additions of convex polytopes
The objective of this paper is to present two types of results on Minkowski sums of convex polytopes. The first is about a special class of polytopes we call perfectly centered and the combinatorial properties of the Minkowski sum with their own dual. In particular, we have a characterization of face lattice of the sum in terms of the face lattice of a given perfectly centered polytope. Exact f...
متن کاملTensor valuations on lattice polytopes
The Ehrhart polynomial and the reciprocity theorems by Ehrhart & Macdonald are extended to tensor valuations on lattice polytopes. A complete classification is established of tensor valuations of rank up to eight that are equivariant with respect to the special linear group over the integers and translation covariant. Every such valuation is a linear combination of the Ehrhart tensors which is ...
متن کاملMinkowski sums of convex lattice polytopes
submitted at the Oberwolfach Conference “Combinatorial Convexity and Algebraic Geometry” 26.10–01.11, 1997 Throughout, we fix the notation M := Z and MR := R . Given convex lattice polytopes P, P ′ ⊂ MR, we have (M ∩ P ) + (M ∩ P ) ⊂ M ∩ (P + P ), where P + P ′ is the Minkowski sum of P and P , while the left hand side means {m+m | m ∈ M ∩ P,m ∈ M ∩ P }. Problem 1 For convex lattice polytopes P...
