Abstract
English
We present complete simplicial fan realizations of any spherical subword complex of type $A_n$ for $n\leq 3$. This provides complete simplicial fan realizations of simplicial multi-associahedra $\Delta_{2k+4,k}$, whose facets are in correspondence with $k$-triangulations of a convex $(2k+4)$-gon. This solves the first open case of the problem of finding fan realizations where polytopality is not known. The techniques presented in this paper work for all finite Coxeter groups and we hope that they will be useful to construct fans realizing subword complexes in general. In particular, we present fan realizations of two previously unknown cases of subword complexes of type $A_4$, namely the multi-associahedra $\Delta_{9,2}$ and $\Delta_{11,3}$.

Nous construisons des éventails simpliciaux complets ayant la combinatoire des complexes de sous-mots de type $A_n$ pour $n\leq 3$. Par conséquent, nous obtenons des constructions d’éventails des multi-associaèdres $\Delta_{2k+4,k}$, dont les facettes correspondent aux $k$-triangulations d’un $(2k+4)$-gone. Cette construction confirme l’existence d’éventails ayant la combinatoire du multi-associaèdres pour une famille dont la polytopalité n’est pas confirmée. Les techniques utilisées fonctionnent pour tous les groupes de Coxeter et nous espérons qu’elles seront utiles afin de construire des éventails réalisant les complexes de sous-mots en général. En particulier, nous présentons des éventails pour deux complexes de sous-mots de type $A_4$ dont l’existence était inconnue: les multi-associaèdres $\Delta_{9,2}$ et $\Delta_{11,3}$.
