Polyhedral Algebras, Arrangements of Toric Varieties, and Their Groups
We investigate the automorphism groups of graded algebras defined by lattice polyhedral complexes and of the corresponding projective varieties, which form arrangements of projective toric varieties. These groups are polyhedral versions of the general and projective linear groups. It is shown that for wide classes of complexes they are generated by toric actions, elementary transformations and ...
متن کاملNonrealizable Minimal Vertex Triangulations of Surfaces: Showing Nonrealizability Using Oriented Matroids and Satisfiability Solvers
We show that no minimal vertex triangulation of a closed, connected, orientable 2-manifold of genus 6 admits a polyhedral embedding in R. We also provide examples of minimal vertex triangulations of closed, connected, orientable 2-manifolds of genus 5 that do not admit any polyhedral embeddings. We construct a new infinite family of non-realizable triangulations of surfaces. These results were ...
متن کاملPolyhedral Surfaces in Wedge Products
We introduce the wedge product of two polytopes. The wedge product is described in terms of inequality systems, in terms of vertex coordinates as well as purely combinatorially, from the corresponding data of its constituents. The wedge product construction can be described as an iterated “subdirect product” as introduced by McMullen (1976); it is dual to the “wreath product” construction of Jo...
متن کاملNested Complexes and Their Polyhedral Realizations
This note which can be viewed as a complement to [9], presents a self-contained overview of basic properties of nested complexes and their two dual polyhedral realizations: as complete simplicial fans, and as simple polytopes. Most of the results are not new; our aim is to bring into focus a striking similarity between nested complexes and associated fans and polytopes on one side, and cluster ...
متن کاملGeometric Realizations of Polyhedral Complexes
We discuss two problems in combinatorial geometry. First, given a geometric polyhedral complex in R (a family of 3-polytopes attached face-to-face), can it always be realized over Q? We give a negative answer to this question, by presenting an irrational polyhedral complex with 1278 convex polyhedra. We then present a universality theorem on the space of realizations of such complexes. Second, ...
