Abstract: In this article, we show that Loday's realization of the associahedron has the the same center of gravity than the permutahedron. This proves an observation made by F. Chapoton. We also prove that this result holds for the associahedron and the cyclohedron as realized by the first author and C. Lange.

Review text

Summary: We show that Loday's realization [\textit{J.-L. Loday}, ``Realization of the Stasheff polytope, Arch. Math. 83, No.\,3, 267--278 (2004; Zbl 1059.52017)] of the associahedron has the the same center of gravity as the permutahedron. This proves an observation made by \textit{F. Chapoton}, \textit{S. Fomin}, and \textit{A. Zelevinsky} [``Polytopal realizations of generalized associahedra, Can. Math. Bull. 45, No.\,4, 537--566 (2002; Zbl 1018.52007)]. We also prove that this result holds for the associahedron and the cyclohedron as realized by the first author and C. Lange [\textit{C. Hohlweg} and \textit{C.E.M.C. Lange}, ``Realizations of the associahedron and cyclohedron, Discrete Comput. Geom. 37, No.\,4, 517--543 (2007; Zbl 1125.52001)].
