拟阵不是Ehrhart阳性

Matroids are not Ehrhart positive

Luis Ferroni

摘要:

在这篇文章中,我们反驳了De Loera,Haws and Köppe(2007)关于拟阵多面体的Ehrhart多项式系数的正性以及Castillo and Liu(2015)关于广义置换面体的Ehrhart多项式系数的正性的断言。我们建设性地证明了对于每一个$n\geq 19$都存在$n$元素上的非Ehrhart正的连通拟阵.证明了对每个$k\geq 3$,存在秩为$k$的连通拟阵,且它们不是Ehrhart正的.我们的证明依赖于我们以前的结果的几何解释的操作电路超平面松弛和我们的公式的Ehrhart多项式的超单形和极小拟阵。这使我们能够给出一个精确的表达式的Ehrhart多项式的所有稀疏铺路拟阵,一类拟阵,这是被证明是占主导地位的,其中包含的反例所产生的我们的建设。

英文摘要:

In this article we disprove the conjectures asserting the positivity of the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial of matroid polytopes by De Loera, Haws and Köppe (2007) and of generalized permutohedra by Castillo and Liu (2015). We prove constructively that for every $n\geq 19$ there exist connected matroids on $n$ elements that are not Ehrhart positive. Also, we prove that for every $k\geq 3$ there exist connected matroids of rank $k$ that are not Ehrhart positive. Our proofs rely on our previous results on the geometric interpretation of the operation of circuit-hyperplane relaxation and our formulas for the Ehrhart polynomials of hypersimplices and minimal matroids. This allows us to give a precise expression for the Ehrhart polynomials of all sparse paving matroids, a class of matroids which is conjectured to be predominant and which contains the counterexamples arising from our construction.
