Given any connected graph G with p vertices and q edges, we associate with G a Cayley graph of the symmetric group S_p and then construct a vertex-transitive simple polytope of rank q, called the graphicahedron, whose 1-skeleton (edge graph) is the Cayley graph. The graphicahedron of a graph G is a generalization of the well-known permutahedron; the latter is obtained when the graph is a path. We also discuss symmetry properties of the graphicahedron and determine its structure when G is small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-20T16:48:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51M20", "05C25", "52B15" ], "keywords": [ "graphicahedron", "cayley graph", "symmetric group", "symmetry properties", "abstract polytopes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0910.3908A" } } }
