Abstract

Let ℝ+(ℋn),ℤ(ℋn),ℤ+(ℋn) be, respectively, the cone over ℝ, the lattice and the cone over ℤ, generated by all cuts of the complete graph on n nodes. For i ≥ 0, let has exactly i realizations in ℤ+(ℋn)}. We show that is infinite, except for the undecided case and empty and for i = 0, n ≤ 5 and for i ≥ 2, n ≤ 3. The set contains 0,1,∞ nonsimplicial points for n ≤ 4, n = 5, n ≥ 6, respectively. On the other hand, there exists a finite number t(n) such that t(n)d ∈ ℤ+(ℋn) for any ; we also estimate such scales for classes of points. We construct families of points of and ℤ+(ℋn), especially on a 0-lifting of a simplicial facet, and points d ∈ ℝ+(ℋn) with di, n = t for 1 ≤ i ≤ n − 1.
