The cyclic polytope C(n, d) is the convex hull of any n points on the moment curve {(t, t2, . . . , td) :t?R } in Rd. Ford?&d, we consider the fiber polytope (in the sense of Billera and Sturmfels ) associated to the natural projection of cyclic polytopes ?: C(n,d? ) ?C(n, d) which `forgets? the last d??d coordinates. It is known that this fiber polytope has face lattice indexed by the coherent polytopal subdivisions of C(n, d) which are induced by the map? . Our main result characterizes the triples (n, d, d?) for which the fiber polytope is canonical in either of the following two senses: ?all polytopal subdivisions induced by ? are coherent, ? the structure of the fiber polytope does not depend upon the choice of points on the moment curve. We also discuss a new instance with a positive answer to the generalized Baues problem, namely that of a projection ?: P?Q where Q has only regular subdivisions andP has two more vertices than its dimension.
