Normal cyclic polytopes and cyclic polytopes that are not very ample

Abstract: Let

d

and

n

be positive integers with

n g e q d + 1

and

a u_{1}, ..., a u_{n}

integers with

a u_{1} < ... < a u_{n}

. Let

C_{d} (a u_{1}, ..., a u_{n}) s u b s e t R R^{d}

denote the cyclic polytope of dimension

d

with

n

vertices

(a u_{1}, a u_{1}^{2}, ..., a u_{1}^{d}), ..., (a u_{n}, a u_{n}^{2}, ..., a u_{n}^{d})

. We are interested in finding the smallest integer

g a m m a_{d}

such that if

a u_{i + 1} - a u_{i} g e q g a m m a_{d}

for

1 l e q i < n

, then

C_{d} (a u_{1}, ..., a u_{n})

is normal. One of the known results is

g a m m a_{d} l e q d (d + 1)

. In the present paper a new inequality

g a m m a_{d} l e q d^{2} - 1

is proved. Moreover, it is shown that if

d g e q 4

with

a u_{3} - a u_{2} = 1

, then

C_{d} (a u_{1}, ..., a u_{n})

is not very ample.
