Hidden structures in the class of convex functions and a new duality transform

Shiri Artstein-Avidan, Vitali Milman (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Our main intention in this paper is to demonstrate how some seemingly purely geometric notions can be presented and understood in an analytic language of inequalities and then, with this understanding, can be defined for classes of functions and reveal new and hidden structures in these classes. One main example which we discovered is a new duality transform for convex non-negative functions on n attaining the value 0 at the origin (which we call “geometric convex functions”). This transform, together...

Hierarchical models, marginal polytopes, and linear codes

Thomas Kahle, Walter Wenzel, Nihat Ay (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we explore a connection between binary hierarchical models, their marginal polytopes, and codeword polytopes, the convex hulls of linear codes. The class of linear codes that are realizable by hierarchical models is determined. We classify all full dimensional polytopes with the property that their vertices form a linear code and give an algorithm that determines them.

Higher-dimensional cluster combinatorics and representation theory

Steffen Oppermann, Hugh Thomas (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Higher Auslander algebras were introduced by Iyama generalizing classical concepts from representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. Recently these higher analogues of classical representation theory have been increasingly studied. Cyclic polytopes are classical objects of study in convex geometry. In particular, their triangulations have been studied with a view towards generalizing the rich combinatorial structure of triangulations of polygons. In this paper, we demonstrate a connection...
