      [SNAP-2025-002-EN] Joswig, Michael (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2025-04-01)
      Convex polytopes are geometric objects that look deceptively simple. They occur everywhere in mathematics and have practical applications in everyday life – like organizing your grocery shopping list. In this snapshot, you ...
    • Is there a Smooth Lattice Polytope which does not have the Integer Decomposition Property? 

      [SNAP-2025-008-EN] Hofscheier, Johannes; Kasprzyk, Alexander (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2025-12-16)
      We introduce Tadao Oda's famous question on lattice polytopes which was originally posed at Oberwolfach in 1997 and, although simple to state, has remained unanswered. The question is motivated by a discussion of the ...
