abstract

The volume and the number of lattice points of the permutohedron P_n are given by certain multivariate polynomials that have remarkable combinatorial properties. We give several different formulas for these polynomials. We also study a more general class of polytopes that includes the permutohedron, the associahedron, the cyclohedron, the Pitman-Stanley polytope, and various generalized associahedra related to wonderful compactifications of De Concini-Procesi. These polytopes are constructed as Minkowski sums of simplices. We calculate their volumes and describe their combinatorial structure. The coefficients of monomials in Vol P_n are certain positive integer numbers, which we call the mixed Eulerian numbers. These numbers are equal to the mixed volumes of hypersimplices. Various specializations of these numbers give the usual Eulerian numbers, the Catalan numbers, the numbers (n+1)^{n-1} of trees, the binomial coefficients, etc. We calculate the mixed Eulerian numbers using certain binary trees. Many results are extended to an arbitrary Weyl group.

Grothendieck Weights on Permutohedral Varieties and Matroids

math.AG · 2026-05-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Grothendieck weights on permutohedral and matroidal fans are characterized by K-balancing, enabling a matroid-only computation of motivic Chern classes for arrangement complements in wonderful compactifications.

Fano and Reflexive Polytopes from Feynman Integrals

hep-th · 2025-12-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quasi-finite Feynman integrals produce sparse Fano and reflexive polytopes that encode degenerate Calabi-Yau varieties and link to del Pezzo surfaces, K3 surfaces, and Calabi-Yau threefolds.

A Boolean-Lattice Perspective for All-Loop Two-Site Cosmological Wavefunction

hep-th · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The all-loop two-site cosmological wavefunction coefficient admits an equivalent maximal-chain expansion on the Boolean lattice that unifies the shifted-tree decomposition and the tubing construction via finite-difference operators and cubical integrals.
