Abstract: Let

G

be a complex simply-laced semisimple algebraic group of rank

r

and

B

a Borel subgroup. Let

m a t h b f i i n [r]^{n}

be a word and let

m a t h b f e l l = (e l l_{1}, d o t s, e l l_{n})

be a sequence of non-negative integers. Grossberg and Karshon introduced a virtual lattice polytope associated to

m a t h b f i

and

m a t h b f e l l

called a twisted cube, whose lattice points encode the character of a

B

-representation. More precisely, lattice points in the twisted cube, counted with sign according to a certain density function, yields the character of the generalized Demazure module determined by

m a t h b f i

and

m a t h b f e l l

. In recent work, the author and Harada described precisely when the Grossberg-Karshon twisted cube is untwisted, i.e., the twisted cube is a closed convex polytope, in the situation when the integer sequence
