Realizing Simion's type B associahedron as a pulling triangulation of the Legendre polytope

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

We show that Simion's type B associahedron is combinatorially equivalent to a pulling triangulation of a type B root polytope called the Legendre polytope. Furthermore, we show that every pulling triangulation of the Legendre polytope yields a flag complex. Our triangulation refines a decomposition of the Legendre polytope given by Cho. We extend Cho's cyclic group action to the triangulation in such a way that it corresponds to rotating centrally symmetric triangulations of a regular (2n + 2)-gon.
