正规多面体的量子跳跃

Quantum jumps of normal polytopes

Winfried Bruns, Joseph Gubeladze, Mateusz Michałek

摘要:

我们在R^d中所有正规多面体的集合上引入了一个偏序。这个偏序集NPol(d)是R^d中凸紧集的连续统的自然离散对应物,通过包含排序,并表现出非常丰富的组合结构。我们推导出NPol(d)中初等关系的各种算术界,称为“量子跳跃”。NPol(d)中极值对象的存在性是数论风味的挑战,导致有趣的正规多面体类:极小,极大,球形。NPol(5)中的极小元在20世纪90年代对正规多面体的各种覆盖定理的反证中起到了关键作用。在这里,我们报告的第一个例子的极大元在NPol(4)和NPol(5),发现的结合发展的理论,随机生成,和广泛的计算机搜索。

英文摘要:

We introduce a partial order on the set of all normal polytopes in R^d. This poset NPol(d) is a natural discrete counterpart of the continuum of convex compact sets in R^d, ordered by inclusion, and exhibits a remarkably rich combinatorial structure. We derive various arithmetic bounds on elementary relations in NPol(d), called "quantum jumps". The existence of extremal objects in NPol(d) is a challenge of number theoretical flavor, leading to interesting classes of normal polytopes: minimal, maximal, spherical. Minimal elements in NPol(5) have played a critical role in disproving various covering conjectures for normal polytopes in the 1990s. Here we report on the first examples of maximal elements in NPol(4) and NPol(5), found by a combination of the developed theory, random generation, and extensive computer search.
