Two-level polytopes are fascinating polytopes that appear in different contexts (Erhart theory, sum-of-squares hierarchies, and more). They generalize, for instance, stable set polytopes of perfect graphs. Although all the evidence we have indicates that they have a very constrained structure, so far there are very few general results about 2-level polytopes. In this talk I will report on recent results about 2-level polytopes. We can show that there are very few: at most 2^{O(d^2 log(d))}, up to isomorphism. The same bound also applies to 2-level cones. This result is joint work with Marco Macchia and Kanstantsin Pashkovich. |
