A realization of poset associahedra

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Given any connected poset \(P\), we provide a simple realization of Galashin's \(P\)-associahedron \(\mathscr A(P)\) as a convex polytope in \(\mathbb R^P.\) This realization is inspired by the description of \(\mathscr A(P)\) as a compactification of the configuration space of order-preserving maps \(P \to \mathbb{R}.\) Additionally, we provide an analogous realization for Galashin's affine poset cyclohedra.
