Lusztig polytopes and FFLV polytopes

Abstract

In this paper we prove that in type $\tt A_n$, the Feigin-Fourier-Littelmann-Vinberg (FFLV) polytope coincides with the Minkowski sum of Lusztig polytopes arising from various reduced decompositions. Using this result, we formulate a conjecture about the crystal structures on FFLV polytopes.
