An important enumerative invariant, namely the local $h$-polynomial, of this triangulation is computed and shown to be $\\gamma$-nonnegative by providing explicit combinatorial interpretations to the corresponding coefficients. A construction of a flag triangulation of the seven-dimensional simplex whose local $h$-polynomial is not real-rooted is also described.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-21T17:28:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E45", "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial", "flag triangulation", "explicit combinatorial interpretations", "seven-dimensional simplex", "fold edgewise subdivision" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
