Dataset Details

The dataset consists of two subsets: weight systems defining reflexive (and therefore IP) polytopes and weight systems defining non-reflexive IP polytopes. Each subset is split into 4000 files in Parquet format. Rows within each file are sorted lexicographically by weights. There are 185,269,499,015 weight systems defining reflexive polytopes and 137,114,261,915 defining non-reflexive polytopes, making a total of 322,383,760,930 IP weight systems.

Each row in the dataset represents a polytope and contains the six weights defining it, along with the vertex count, facet count, and lattice point count. The reflexive dataset also includes the Hodge numbers $h^{1,1}h^\{1,1\}$, $h^{1,2}h^\{1,2\}$, and $h^{1,3}h^\{1,3\}$ of the corresponding Calabi-Yau manifold, and the lattice point count of the dual polytope.

For any Calabi-Yau fourfold, the Euler characteristic $\chi \backslash chi$ and the Hodge number $h^{2,2}h^\{2,2\}$ can be derived as follows:

$$\chi =48+6(h^{1,1}-h^{1,2}+h^{1,3})\backslash chi\; =\; 48\; +\; 6\; (h^\{1,1\}\; -\; h^\{1,2\}\; +\; h^\{1,3\})$$

$$h^{2,2}=44+4h^{1,1}-2h^{1,2}+4h^{1,3}h^\{2,2\}\; =\; 44\; +\; 4\; h^\{1,1\}\; -\; 2\; h^\{1,2\}\; +\; 4\; h^\{1,3\}$$

Construction of Polytopes

This is an introduction to the mathematics involved in the construction of polytopes relevant to this dataset. For more details and precise definitions, consult the paper arXiv:1808.02422 and references therein.

Polytopes

A polytope is the convex hull of a finite set of points in $nn$-dimensional Euclidean space, ${\mathbb{R}}^n\backslash mathbb\{R\}^n$. This means it is the smallest convex shape that contains all these points. The minimal collection of points that define a particular polytope are its vertices. Familiar examples of polytopes include triangles and rectangles in two dimensions, and cubes and octahedra in three dimensions.

A polytope is considered an IP polytope (interior point polytope) if the origin of ${\mathbb{R}}^n\backslash mathbb\{R\}^n$ is in the interior of the polytope, not on its boundary or outside it.

For any IP polytope $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$, its dual polytope ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash nabla^*$ is defined as the set of points $\mathbf{y}\backslash mathbf\{y\}$ satisfying

$$\mathbf{x}\cdot \mathbf{y}\ge -1\text{for all }\mathbf{x}\in \mathrm{\nabla }\mathrm{.}\backslash mathbf\{x\}\; \backslash cdot\; \backslash mathbf\{y\}\; \backslash ge\; -1\; \backslash quad\; \backslash text\{for\; all\; \}\; \backslash mathbf\{x\}\; \backslash in\; \backslash nabla\; \backslash ;.$$

This relationship is symmetric: the dual of the dual of an IP polytope is the polytope itself, i.e., ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast \ast }=\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla^\{**\}\; =\; \backslash nabla$.

Weight Systems

Weight systems provide a means to describe simple polytopes known as simplices. A weight system is a tuple of real numbers. The construction process is outlined as follows:

Consider an $nn$-dimensional simplex in ${\mathbb{R}}^n\backslash mathbb\{R\}^n$, i.e., a polytope in ${\mathbb{R}}^n\backslash mathbb\{R\}^n$ with vertex count $n+1n\; +\; 1$ and $nn$ of its edges extending in linearly independent directions. It is possible to position $nn$ of its vertices at arbitrary (linearly independent) locations through a linear transformation. The placement of the remaining vertex is then determined. Its position is the defining property of the simplex. To specify the position independently of the applied linear transformation, one can use the following equation. If ${\mathbf{v}}_0,{\mathbf{v}}_1,\dots ,{\mathbf{v}}_n\backslash mathbf\{v\}\_0,\; \backslash mathbf\{v\}\_1,\; \backslash dots,\; \backslash mathbf\{v\}\_n$ are the vertices of the simplex, this relation fixes one vertex in terms of the other $nn$:

$$\sum _{i=0}^n{q}_i{\mathbf{v}}_i=0,\backslash sum\_\{i=0\}^n\; q\_i\; \backslash mathbf\{v\}\_i\; =\; 0\; \backslash ;,$$

where $q_{i}q\_i$ is the tuple of real numbers, the weight system.

It is important to note that scaling all weights in a weight system by a common factor results in an equivalent weight system that defines the same simplex.

The condition that a simplex is an IP simplex is equivalent to the condition that all weights in its weight system are bigger than zero.

For this dataset, the focus is on a specific construction of lattice polytopes described in subsequent sections.

Lattice Polytopes

A lattice polytope is a polytope with vertices at the points of a regular grid, or lattice. Using linear transformations, any lattice polytope can be transformed so that its vertices have integer coordinates, hence they are also referred to as integral polytopes.

The dual of a lattice with points $LL$ is the lattice consisting of all points $\mathbf{y}\backslash mathbf\{y\}$ that satisfy

$$\mathbf{x}\cdot \mathbf{y}\in \mathbb{Z}\text{for all }\mathbf{x}\in L\mathrm{.}\backslash mathbf\{x\}\; \backslash cdot\; \backslash mathbf\{y\}\; \backslash in\; \backslash mathbb\{Z\}\; \backslash quad\; \backslash text\{for\; all\; \}\; \backslash mathbf\{x\}\; \backslash in\; L\; \backslash ;.$$

Reflexive polytopes are a specific type of lattice polytope characterized by having a dual that is also a lattice polytope, with vertices situated on the dual lattice. These polytopes play a central role in the context of this dataset.

The weights of a lattice polytope are always rational. This characteristic enables the rescaling of a weight system so that its weights become integers without any common divisor. This rescaling has been performed in this dataset.

The construction of the lattice polytopes from this dataset works as follows: We start with the simplex $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$, arising from a weight system as previously described. Then, we define the polytope $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ as the convex hull of the intersection of ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash nabla^*$ with the points of the dual lattice. In the context of this dataset, the polytope $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ is referred to as ‘the polytope’. Correspondingly, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}\ast }\backslash Delta^\{\backslash !*\}$ is referred to as ‘the dual polytope’. The lattice of $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$ and ${\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}\ast }\backslash Delta^\{\backslash !*\}$ is taken to be the coarsest lattice possible, such that $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$ is a lattice polytope, i.e., the lattice generated by the vertices of $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$. This construction is exemplified in the following sections.

A weight system is considered an IP weight system if the corresponding $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ is an IP polytope; that is, the origin is within its interior. Since only IP polytopes have corresponding dual polytopes, this condition is essential for the polytope $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ to be classified as reflexive.

Two Dimensions

In two dimensions, all IP weight systems define reflexive polytopes and every vertex of ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash nabla^*$ lies on the dual lattice, making $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ and ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash nabla^*$ identical. There are exactly three IP weight systems that define two-dimensional polytopes (polygons). Each polytope is reflexive and has three vertices and three facets (edges):

weight system	number of points of $\mathrm{\nabla }\backslash nabla$	number of points of ${\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash nabla^*$
(1, 1, 1)	4	10
(1, 1, 2)	5	9
(1, 2, 3)	7	7

The polytopes and their duals are depicted below. Lattice points are indicated by dots.

General Dimension

In higher dimensions, the situation becomes more complex. Not all IP polytopes are reflexive, and generally, $\mathrm{\Delta }\mathrm{\ne }{\mathrm{\nabla }}^{\ast }\backslash Delta\; \backslash neq\; \backslash nabla^*$.

This example shows the construction of the three-dimensional polytope $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ with weight system (2, 3, 4, 5) and its dual ${\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}\ast }\backslash Delta^\{\backslash !*\}$. Lattice points lying on the polytopes are indicated by dots. $\mathrm{\Delta }\backslash Delta$ has 7 vertices and 13 lattice points, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}\ast }\backslash Delta^\{\backslash !*\}$ also has 7 vertices, but 16 lattice points.

The counts of reflexive single-weight-system polytopes by dimension $nn$ are:

$nn$	reflexive single-weight-system polytopes
2	3
3	95
4	184,026
5	(this dataset) 185,269,499,015

One should note that distinct weight systems may well lead to the same polytope (we have not checked how often this occurs). In particular it seems that polytopes with a small number of lattice points are generated many times.
