The multiples-of-factorial conjecture for Ehrhart-equivalent integral polytopes
The multiples-of-factorial conjecture for Ehrhart-equivalent integral polytopes
Let , and let be arbitrary Ehrhart-equivalent integral -polytopes. For a positive integer , the notation denotes the dilation of by , and -equidecomposability is by affine-unimodular transformations.
The multiples-of-factorial conjecture. For any , if are two arbitrary Ehrhart-equivalent integral -polytopes, then
are -equidecomposable for all .
This conjecture proposes an infinite class of dilation factors beyond the single factor . The paper notes that infinitely many dilation factors exist in general, while for and every positive integer works; the stated conjecture concerns dimensions greater than three.
