Mini-Workshop: Alcoved Polytopes in Physics and Optimization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: An alcoved polytope is a polytope whose facet normal are all in direction of type A roots. This fundamental class of polytopes has ample applications in for instance tropical geometry, statistics and algebra. The mini-workshop showcased various recent developments related to alcoved polytopes and their generalizations with a particular focus on their connections to physics and optimization.
