关于Hirsch猜想的新进展

An update on the Hirsch conjecture

Edward D. Kim, Francisco Santos

摘要:

赫希猜想是在1957年由沃伦·M.赫希致乔治·丹齐格它指出,一个d维多面体的n个小平面的图不能有直径大于n-d。尽管它是多胞形理论中最基本、最基本、最古老的问题之一,但我们所知甚少。最值得注意的是,没有多项式的上界是已知的直径被证明是线性的。相比之下,很少有多面体是已知的,其中结合$n-d$是获得的。本文收集了已知的结果和评论的积极和消极的一面猜想。一些证明包括在内,但只有那些我们希望是访问的一般数学观众没有介绍太多的技术细节。

英文摘要:

The Hirsch conjecture was posed in 1957 in a letter from Warren M. Hirsch to George Dantzig. It states that the graph of a d-dimensional polytope with n facets cannot have diameter greater than n - d. Despite being one of the most fundamental, basic and old problems in polytope theory, what we know is quite scarce. Most notably, no polynomial upper bound is known for the diameters that are conjectured to be linear. In contrast, very few polytopes are known where the bound $n-d$ is attained. This paper collects known results and remarks both on the positive and on the negative side of the conjecture. Some proofs are included, but only those that we hope are accessible to a general mathematical audience without introducing too many technicalities.
