What Cayley graphs arise as nodes+edges from "nice" polytopes and when are these polytopes convex?
The Permutohedron is a remarkable convex polytope in $R^n$, such that its nodes are indexed by permutations and edges correspond to the Cayley graph of $S_n$ with respect to the standard generators, i....
