Regularity-independence conjecture for higher secondary polytopes

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let A\mathcal{A} be a point configuration, let V\mathcal{V} be its associated vector configuration, and let \UpsigmaA,k\Upsigma_{\mathcal{A},k} be the higher secondary polytope defined using fine regular zonotopal tilings of ZV\mathcal{Z}_{\mathcal{V}}. For a fine zonotopal tiling TT, write vert⁡^k(T)\widehat{\operatorname{vert}}_k(T) for its associated vector. The regularity-independence conjecture.

\UpsigmaA,k=conv⁡{vert⁡^k(T)  |  T is a fine zonotopal tiling of ZV}.\Upsigma_{\mathcal{A},k}=\operatorname{conv}\left\{\widehat{\operatorname{vert}}_k(T)\;\middle|\; T\text{ is a fine zonotopal tiling of }\mathcal{Z}_{\mathcal{V}}\right\}.

Equivalently, vert⁡^k(T)\widehat{\operatorname{vert}}_k(T) lies in \UpsigmaA,k\Upsigma_{\mathcal{A},k} for every fine, not necessarily regular, zonotopal tiling TT. The conjecture would show that regularity can be omitted from the definition of the higher secondary polytope; the supplied source gives no resolution.
