Realizing Simion's Type B
Associahedron as a Pulling Triangulation of the Legendre Polytope
Abstract.
We show that Simion's type B associahedron is combinatorially
equivalent to a pulling triangulation of a type B root polytope
called the Legendre polytope. Furthermore, we show that every pulling
triangulation of the Legendre polytope yields a flag complex.
Our triangulation refines a decomposition of the Legendre polytope
given by Cho. We extend Cho's cyclic group action to the
triangulation in such a way that it corresponds to
rotating centrally symmetric triangulations of a regular
(2n+2)-gon.
