Strongly dominant weight polytopes are cubes
Abstract
For any root system of rank $r$, we study the "dominant weight polytope" $P^\lambda$ associated with a strongly dominant weight $\lambda$. We prove that $P^\lambda$ is combinatorially equivalent to the $r$-dimensional cube. As an application, we give a new proof of the known formulas for Betti numbers of Peterson varieties in classical Lie types.
