Approximation of convex bodies by polytopes corresponding to smooth toric varieties

Let $P\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an $n$-dimensional polytope with rational vertices. There is a well known construction which produces an $n$-dimensional algebraic variety $X_P$ called toric variety. In ...

Separating a lattice simplex from a lattice polytope

Let $P\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex lattice polytope. Do there always exist a lattice simplex $\Delta\subset P$ and an affine hyperplane $H\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ separating $\Delta$ from the convex ...

When is the set of faces of a convex polytope algebraically independent?

This is related to another question of mine Let $V=\Bbb R^n$. Morelli defined the (commutative unital) ring $L(V)$ to be the additive group generated by the indicator functions of convex polytopes in ...

The ring generated by a convex polytope and its faces

Let $V=\Bbb R^n$. Morelli defined the (commutative unital) ring $L(V)$ to be the additive group generated by the indicator functions of convex polytopes in $V$ with multiplication induced by Minkowski ...

polynomial expression for counting number of integral points of a set

Let $v_i=a_ie_i\in\mathbb R^d$ and $w_i=b_ie_i\in\mathbb R^d$ for $i=1,\dots,d$ where $e_i$'s are unit vetcors and $a_i,b_i$ are positive integers. Let $$S=conv\{0,rv_i+sw_i:i=1,\dots,d\}.$$ Can we ...
