In particular, we show that $h^{*}_{d}(\\Delta_{k,n})$ is the number of hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions of type $(k,n)$ with winding number $d$, thereby proving a conjecture of Nick Early. We do this by proving a more general conjecture of Nick Early on the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector of a generic cross-section of a hypercube.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-04T14:52:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "combinatorial formula", "hypersimplex", "hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions", "general conjecture", "generic cross-section" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
