The simplicity conjecture for convex hulls of Wachs permutations

About 4 years old · traced to

Let m∈Pm\in\mathbb{P}, and let c(W⁡(S2m))c(\operatorname{\mathcal{W}}(S_{2m})) be the convex hull of the Wachs permutations in R2m\mathbb{R}^{2m}. Simplicity conjecture. The polytope c(W⁡(S2m))c(\operatorname{\mathcal{W}}(S_{2m})) is simple.

The authors verified this conjecture for m⩽5m\leqslant 5, but report that SageMath shows c(W⁡(S9))c(\operatorname{\mathcal{W}}(S_9)) is not simple; this computational observation concerns the odd-dimensional analogue and does not resolve the stated even-index conjecture.
