Abstract: | Given a monomial kx1,. . . ,xn]-module M in the Laurent polynomial ring kx1±1, . . . ,
xn±1], the hull complex is defined to be the set of bounded faces of the convex hull of the
points {ta| xa M} for
sufficiently large t. Bayer and Sturmfels conjectured that the faces of this polyhedron are
of bounded complexity in the sense that every such face is affinely isomorphic to a subpolytope of the
(n – 1)-dimensional permutohedron, which in particular would imply that these faces have at most n!
vertices. In this paper we prove that the latter statement is true, and give a counterexample to the
stronger conjecture. |
