Ehrhart series, unimodality, and integrally closed reflexive polytopes (Q505690): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors study lattice polytopes having a unimodal \(h^*\)-vector. They consider integrally closed reflexive simplices and discuss an operation that preserves reflexivity, integral closure, and unimodality of the \(h^*\)-vector. All this suggests unimodality. Further the authors discuss the failure of proving unimodality in this setting using weak Lefschetz elements.
