On a Classification of Smooth Fano Polytopes

Abstract
English
The $d$-dimensional simplicial, terminal, and reflexive polytopes with at least $3d-2$ vertices are classified. In particular, it turns out that all of them are smooth Fano polytopes. This improves previous results of Casagrande (2006) and Øbro (2008). Smooth Fano polytopes play a role in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. This text is an extended abstract of Assarf et al. (2012).

Nous classifions les polytopes simpliciaux, terminaux et réflexifs de dimension $d$ avec au moins $3d-2$ sommets. En particulier, tous ces polytopes se trouvent être des polytopes de Fano lisses. Nous améliorons des résultats antérieurs de Casagrande (2006) et d’Øbro (2008). Les polytopes de Fano lisses apparaissent en géométrie algébrique et en physique mathématique. Ce texte est un résumé étendu de Assarf et al. (2012).
