Colloquium by Jean-Philippe Labbé (Freie Universität Berlin): (At least) three hard problems behind the multiassociahedron

Nov 19, 2018 | 04:00 PM s.t.

The associahedron has a natural extension called the multiassociahedron. It is a vertex-decomposable simplicial sphere (in other words, a "combinatorially nice" sphere). Since at least 2003, people tried to construct simplicial polytopes, whose boundary is this simplicial complex, with limited success. In this talk, I will reveal (at least) three combinatorial "known-to-be-challenging" computational problems which should be indispensably faced to solve this problem.
