Abstract
In 2019, Ceballos and Pons introduced the s-weak order on s-decreasing trees, for any weak composition s. They proved its lattice structure and conjectured that it could be realized as the 1-skeleton of a polyhedral subdivision of a zonotope of dimension n − 1. We answer their conjecture in the case where s is a (strict) composition by providing three geometric realizations of the s-permutahedron. The first one is the dual graph of a triangulation of a flow polytope of high dimension. The second, obtained using the Cayley trick, is the dual graph of a fine mixed subdivision of a sum of hypercubes that has the conjectured dimension. The third, obtained using tropical geometry, is the 1-skeleton of a polyhedral complex for which we can provide explicit coordinates of the vertices and whose support is a permutahedron as conjectured.
