Polytopal Realizations of Generalized Associahedra (Q4796563)

Let \(\Phi\) be a rank \(n\) finite root system with the set of simple roots \(\Pi=\{\alpha_i\;|\;i\in I\}\) and the set of positive roots \(\Phi_{>0}\). Let \(\Phi_{\geq -1}=\Phi_{>0}\cup (-\Pi)\). The simplicial complex \(\Delta(\Phi)\) (generalized associahedron) has \(\Phi_{\geq -1}\) as set of vertices; its simplices are the subsets of mutually compatible elements of \(\Phi_{\geq -1}\). The maximal simplices of \(\Delta(\Phi)\) are called clusters. The main result of this paper is Theorem 1.4. The simplicial fan \(\Delta(\Phi)\) is the normal fan of a simple \(n\)-dimensional convex polytope.
