符号图的流多胞形与Kostant分拆函数

Flow polytopes of signed graphs and the Kostant partition function

Karola Meszaros, Alejandro H. Morales

摘要:

我们建立了与符号图相关的流多面体的体积与Kostant分拆函数之间的关系。这种关系的一个特殊情况,即当图是无符号的,已经详细研究了巴尔多尼和Vergne使用技术的残留物。与他们的方法相比,我们提供了完全组合的证据,灵感来自Postnikov和斯坦利的工作流多面体。作为一类特殊的流多面体,我们研究了Chan-Robbins-Yuen多面体。受$A_n$型的体积公式$\prod_{k=1}^{n-2} Cat(k)$的启发,其中$Cat(k)$是$k$第卡塔兰数,我们引入了$C_{n+1}$型和$D_{n+1}$ Chan-Robbins-Yuen多面体以及与它们的性质有关的有趣的图解。

英文摘要:

We establish the relationship between volumes of flow polytopes associated to signed graphs and the Kostant partition function. A special case of this relationship, namely, when the graphs are signless, has been studied in detail by Baldoni and Vergne using techniques of residues. In contrast with their approach, we provide entirely combinatorial proofs inspired by the work of Postnikov and Stanley on flow polytopes. As a fascinating special family of flow polytopes, we study the Chan-Robbins-Yuen polytopes. Motivated by the beautiful volume formula $\prod_{k=1}^{n-2} Cat(k)$ for the type $A_n$ version, where $Cat(k)$ is the $k$th Catalan number, we introduce type $C_{n+1}$ and $D_{n+1}$ Chan-Robbins-Yuen polytopes along with intriguing conjectures pertaining to their properties.
