Polytope algebra and toric vareties
Let $\Pi$ denote the McMullen polytope algebra (over the field of rationals $\mathbb{Q}$) generated by convex polytopes with rational vertices in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
For a simple polytope $P$ let us ...

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 ...

Anything similar to cone product formula (for convex polytopes)?
The convex polytope flag vector ring $\mathcal{R}$ satisfies the cone product formula
$$
C(U) C(V) = C(J(U, V)) + DUV
$$
where
$$
J(U, V) = U C(V) + C(U) V - e_1 UV
$$
is the join formula.
Note: ...

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 ...
