On the subdivision algebra for the polytope U_I,J

Abstract: The polytopes

were introduced by Ceballos, Padrol, and Sarmiento to provide a geometric approach to the study of

-Tamari lattices. They observed a connection between certain

and acyclic root polytopes, and wondered if M'esz'aros' subdivision algebra can be used to subdivide all

. We answer this in the affirmative from two perspectives, one using flow polytopes and the other using root polytopes. We show that

is integrally equivalent to a flow polytope that can be subdivided using the subdivision algebra. Alternatively, we find a suitable projection of

to an acyclic root polytope which allows subdivisions of the root polytope to be lifted back to

. As a consequence, this implies that subdivisions of

can be obtained with the algebraic interpretation of using reduced forms of monomials in the subdivision algebra. In addition, we show that the

-Tamari complex can be obtained as a triangulated flow polytope.
