Description

Secondary polytope of the 3-cube.

For the case of the 3-cube, all triangulations turn out to be regular, which means that all of them are vertices of the secondary polytope. This has dimension 4, and on the right you can see the Schlegel diagrams corresponding to two different facets.

Note that this secondary polytope is not simple: in the second Schlegel diagram, you can see a vertex of degree 6.

The file 3-cube.sec.poly contains all triangulations of the 3-cube and its flip graph. This graph is also provided in gml format in the file 3-cube.sec.gml .
