Abstract:

A compressed polytope is an integral convex polytope any of whose reverse lexicographic initial ideals is squarefree. A sufficient condition for a $(0,1)$-polytope to be compressed will be presented. One of its immediate consequences is that the class of compressed $(0,1)$-polytopes includes (i) hypersimplices, (ii) order polytopes of finite partially ordered sets, and (iii) stable polytopes of perfect graphs.
