Non-leaving-face property for marked surfaces

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2316940



Abstract: We consider the polytope arising from a marked surface by flips of triangulations. Sleator, Tarjan and Thurston studied in 1988 the diameter of the associahedron, which is the polytope arising from a marked disc by flips of triangulations. They showed that every shortest path between two vertices in a face does not leave that face. We establish that same non-leaving-face property for all unpunctured marked surfaces.
