Acyclonestohedra

Abstract. Given a building set B and an oriented matroid M on the same ground set, we define the acyclic nested complex as the simplicial complex of nested sets on B which are in some sense acyclic with respect to M. We prove that this complex is always the face lattice of an oriented matroid, obtained as a stellar subdivision of the positive tope of the oriented matroid M. When the oriented matroid M is the oriented matroid of a vector configuration A, we moreover prove that this complex is the boundary complex of an acyclonestohedron, a polytope obtained as the section of a nestohedron for B by the evaluation space of A. Our work specializes to explicit polytopal realizations of the poset associahedra and affine poset cyclohedra of Galashin.
