    The decomposition of the hypermetric cone into L-domains

    The hypermetric cone \HYP_{n+1} is the parameter space of basic Delaunay polytopes in n-dimensional lattice. The cone \HYP_{n+1} is polyhedral; one way of seeing this is that modulo image by the covariance map \HYP_{n+1} is a finite union of L-domains, i.e., of parameter space of full Delaunay tessellations. In this paper, we study this partition of the hypermetric cone into L-domains. In particular, it is proved that the cone \HYP_{n+1} of hypermetrics on n+1 points contains exactly {1/2}n! principal L-domains. We give a detailed description of the decomposition of \HYP_{n+1} for n=2,3,4 and a computer result for n=5 (see Table \ref{TableDataHYPn}). Remarkable properties of the root system D4\mathsf{D}_4 are key for the decomposition of \HYP_5.Comment: 20 pages 2 figures, 2 table

    Graphs 4n4_n that are isometrically embeddable in hypercubes

    Full text link
    A connected 3-valent plane graph, whose faces are qq- or 6-gons only, is called a {\em graph qnq_n}. We classify all graphs 4n4_n, which are isometric subgraphs of a mm-hypercube HmH_m.Comment: 18 pages, 25 drawing

    Classification of eight dimensional perfect forms

    In this paper, we classify the perfect lattices in dimension 8. There are 10916 of them. Our classification heavily relies on exploiting symmetry in polyhedral computations. Here we describe algorithms making the classification possible.Comment: 14 page
