Unimodality of $f$-vectors of $0/1$-polytopes
It is known that the face vectors (aka $f$-vectors) of general polytopes need not be unimodal. This even fails for simple or simplicial polytopes, as was shown first by Björner.
My question is if ...

Expanded 24-simplices in the Leech polytope
The vertex coordinate set for the contact polytope of the Leech lattice listed on Wikipedia contains all permutations of:
$\{4,-4,0^{22}\}$
$\{-3,1^{23}\}$
$\{3,-1^{23}\}$
The convex hull of these ...

Lattice deformations of regular polytopes
It is trivial to see that the 24-cell, all hypercubes, and all polytopes with simplicial facets, can be deformed into lattice polytopes, and this blog post implies the same is true for the ...

Convex lattice polygons with equal area and perimeter
A convex polygon all of whose vertices have integer coordinates is a convex lattice polygon.
Do there exist mutually non-congruent convex lattice polygons which have the same area and same perimeter?

Zero-area-free embedding of points on the grid
Given $n$, I am looking for the smallest $m$ such that there is an $n$ element subset $S$ of the $m\times m$ grid (i.e., $n$ points with integer coordinates in $[0,m]^2$) such that no matter how one ...

Toric resolution in terms of polytopes
Let $P,Q\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ lattice polytopes such that $P$ and $P'=P+Q$ are smooth polytopes. We obtain the birational morphism $f:X_{P'}\to X_Q$ and I am interested in a criterion when this is a ...

Bound on mutually x-ray-visible lattice points?
Say that two lattice points $a$ and $b$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$
are $x$-visible to one another if the segment $ab$
contains at most $x$ lattice points (excluding $a$ and $b$).
So $x$-visiblity is "x-...

There are at most four mutually visible lattice points—?
Say that two lattice points $a$ and $b$ of $\mathbb{Z}^2$
are visible to one another if the line segment $ab$
contains no other lattice points.
While exploring lattice polygons all of whose vertices

Integer decomposition property with a partial order
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a convex lattice polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We say that $\mathcal{P}$ has the integer decomposition property (or "is IDP") if for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\alpha \in ...

Curve with no embedding in a toric surface
I am looking for a smooth proper curve $C$ such that there does not exist any closed embedding $C \to S$ where $S$ is a (normal projective) toric surface.
Since $C$ is smooth I believe it suffices to ...

A source for $01$-polytopes
Can you recommend any books or survey articles on $01$-polytopes, thats is, polytopes with vertices in $\{0,1\}^n$?
I am less interested in random $01$-polytopes, but more in the combinatorial ...

Edges of the contact polytope of the Leech lattice
Let $P\subset\Bbb R^{24}$ be the contact polytope of the Leech lattice, that is, $P$ is the convex hull of the 196,560 shortest vectors of $\Lambda_{24}$.
Question: What are the edges of $P$?

Convex Hulls of Demazure Modules
Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and for a highest weight $\lambda$, denote by $V_{\lambda}^w$ the Demazure module associated with $\lambda$ and $w$. More precisely, $V_{\...

An Ehrhart positivity question related to Schur polynomials
Consider the Schur polynomial $s_\lambda(x_1,\dotsc,x_k)$.
It is easy to see from the hook-content formula for counting the number of semi-standard tableaux, that the function

Minimum weight triangulation of lattice points in a circle
Let $r$ be a natural number, and consider the $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice points
$S$ inside or on the circle $C$ of radius $r$ centered on the origin.
Let $P$ be the convex hull of $S$; so $P$ is inscribed ...

Problem with the vertices of a convex quadrilateral on integer lattice
I made the following observation and I am wondering if it is always true.
Let $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$ and $x_4$ be four positive integer points in the plane ($x_i\in\mathbb{Z^2_{\geq 0}}$) forming a ...

Reciprocity for multi-parameter Ehrhart polynomials
In McMullen's 1977 paper "Valuations and Euler-type relations on certain classes of convex polytopes" (https://londmathsoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1112/plms/s3-35.1.113), he shows that for $...

Are Minkowski sums of upward closed "convex" sets in $\mathbb{N}^k$ still "convex"? (WAS: Comparing mana costs in Magic: The Gathering)
This was originally a question about comparing mana costs in Magic: The Gathering, but it's turned into a question about Minkowski sums of upward-closed convex sets in $\mathbb{N}^k$. The original ...
