Abstract

In the early 1990s, a family of combinatorial CW-complexes named permutoassociahedra was introduced by Kapranov, and it was realised by Reiner and Ziegler as a family of convex polytopes. The polytopes in this family are “hybrids” of permutohedra and associahedra. Since permutohedra and associahedra are simple, it is natural to search for a family of simple permutoassociahedra, which is still adequate for a topological proof of Mac Lane’s coherence. This paper presents such a family.
