Fundamental polytopes of metric trees via parallel connections of matroids

Abstract: We tackle the problem of a combinatorial classification of finite metric spaces via their fundamental polytopes, as suggested by Vershik in 2010 [24].In this paper we consider a hyperplane arrangement associated to every split pseudometric and, for tree-like metrics, we study the combinatorics of its underlying matroid.• We give explicit formulas for the face numbers of fundamental polytopes and Lipschitz polytopes of all tree-like metrics,• We characterize the metric trees for which the fundamental polytope i… Show more

“…The structure of fundamental polytopes of tree-like metric spaces were studied via associated hyperplane arrangements and corresponding decompositions of the matroid in (Delucchi & Hoessly, 2020), enabling explicit formulas for face numbers of tree-like finite metric spaces. Values of the -vectors as well as concrete values for -vectors for "generic" 11 metrics were given in (Gordon & Petrov, 2017).…”

“…Values of the -vectors as well as concrete values for -vectors for "generic" 11 metrics were given in (Gordon & Petrov, 2017). For more on connections, terminology, history and further context around fundamental polytopes we refer to, e.g., (Ostrovska & Ostrovskii, 2019, x 1.6) or (Delucchi & Hoessly, 2020), where we further remark that direct applications to phylogenetics are still outstanding.…”

“…16,19 Similar constructions have also appeared in other contexts. [20][21][22] The adjacency polytope bound is a simplification and relaxation of the Bernshtein-Kushnirenko-Khovanskii bound. 23 Recently, the author proved that the this bound remains a sharp upper bound for the total number of complex synchronization configurations for certain graphs.…”

“…In the context of Kuramoto models [15], the geometric structure of adjacency polytopes has been instrumental in solving the root counting problem for algebraic Kuramoto equations [5,6,15]. In the broader context, the adjacency polytope of G is equivalent to the symmetric edge polytope, which has been studied by number theorists, combinatorialists, and discrete geometers motivated by several seemingly-independent problems [11,12,13,16,17,18,19]. These different viewpoints are consolidated in recent work by D'Alì, Delucchi, and Micha lek [10] which, among other contributions, sheds new light on the structure of adjacency polytopes of bipartite graphs, cycles, wheels, and graphs consisting of two subgraphs sharing a single edge.…”
