Framingtopes

Abstract

Framing lattices arise from the dual graphs of framed (or DKK) triangulations of flow polytopes and provide a common framework encompassing classical lattices such as the Boolean, Tamari, and weak-order lattices, as well as $τ$-tilting posets of certain gentle algebras. In this paper, we introduce the \emph{framingtope}, a polytopal complex that provides a geometric counterpart to a framing lattice: its edge graph is the Hasse diagram of the framing lattice. We prove that the framingtope admits three equivalent descriptions, in terms of interior faces of the framed triangulation, sets of pairwise coherent routes covering the graph, and pure intervals of the framing lattice. We further construct a tropical realization of the framingtope as the bounded-cell complex of an arrangement of tropical hypersurfaces associated with an admissible height function. This construction yields explicit vertex coordinates for broad classes of framed graphs, including plane framed graphs and multioruga graphs. In the multioruga case, these coordinates give tropical realizations of weak orders on multipermutations and, in the ordinary oruga case, recover the classical permutahedron.
