\(S\)-hypersimplices, pulling triangulations, and monotone paths (Q783072)

Summary: An \(S\)-hypersimplex for \(S \subseteq \{0,1, \dots,d\}\) is the convex hull of all \(0/1\)-vectors of length \(d\) with coordinate sum in \(S\). These polytopes generalize the classical hypersimplices as well as cubes, crosspolytopes, and halfcubes. In this paper we study faces and dissections of \(S\)-hypersimplices. Moreover, we show that monotone path polytopes of \(S\)-hypersimplices yield all types of multipermutahedra. In analogy to cubes, we also show that the number of simplices in a pulling triangulation of a halfcube is independent of the pulling order.
