A continuous family of marked poset polytopes. (English) Zbl 1445.52009
To a finite poset $$(P, \preceq)$$ Stanley [R. P. Stanley, Discrete Comput. Geom. 1, 9–23 (1986; Zbl 0595.52008)] famously associated two lattice polytopes: the order polytope $O_{P, \preceq} := \left\{ x \in [0,1]^P :\, p \preceq q \ \Rightarrow \ x_p \leq x_q \right\}$ and the chain polytope $C_{P, \preceq} := \left\{ x \in \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^P :\, p_1 \prec \cdots \prec p_m \text { maximal chain in } P \ \Rightarrow \ x_{p_1} + \cdots + x_{p_m} \le 1 \right\} .$ These polytopes have seen much research activity and were generalized to marked poset polytopes [F. Ardila et al., J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 118, No. 8, 2454–2462 (2011; Zbl 1234.52009)], where now some of the poset elements are labelled with fixed integers. The paper under review defines and studies a continuous family of polytopes with marked order and chain polytope at extreme ends. The authors study the Ehrhart theory (lattice-point counting formulas) and the combinatorial type of these polytopes, using tools from discrete and tropical geometry.
