Title: Polytopes Associated to Graphs

Abstract:

There are many advantageous ways to associate a polytope to a graph. In this talk, we will discuss a couple of such constructions while highlighting some notable results. First we will look at edge polytopes introduced by Ohsugi and Hibi as well as applications through constructive examples from a paper by Lason and Michalek. Then we will look at Laplacian simplices associated to graphs and digraphs in the time remaining.
