Abstract
We continue the study of intersection bodies of polytopes, focusing on the behavior of IP under translations of P. We introduce an affine hyperplane arrangement and show that the polynomials describing the boundary of \(I(P+t)\) can be extended to polynomials in variables \(t\in \mathbb {R}^d\) within each region of the arrangement. In dimension 2, we give a full characterization of those polygons such that their intersection body is convex. We give a partial characterization for general dimensions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
