The vertex-barycentre conjecture for permutahedra and associahedra
The vertex-barycentre conjecture for permutahedra and associahedra
Let be a Coxeter group and let be a Coxeter element. Choose a real number and set
to fix a realization of the permutahedron . Let denote the corresponding -associahedron, and let the vertex barycentre mean the average of the vertices of a polytope.
Vertex-barycentre conjecture. The vertex barycentres of and coincide.
The conjecture is motivated by observations for Loday's realization and other type and associahedra. It was supported by computations in the listed finite types, but the source states that these observations had not been proved; no resolution is supplied here.
