A compressed polytope is an integral convex polytope all of whose pulling triangulations are unimodular. A (q 1)-simplex each of whose vertices is a vertex of a convex polytope P is said to be a special simplex in P if each facet of P contains exactly q 1 of the vertices of . It will be proved that there is a special simplex in a compressed polytope P if (and only if) its toric ring K[P] is Gorenstein. In consequence it follows that the h-vector of a Gorenstein toric ring K[P] is unimodal if P is compressed. A compressed polytope [10, p. 337] is an integral convex polytope all of whose \pulling triangulations" are unimodular. (Recall that an integral convex polytope is an convex polytope each of whose vertices has integer coordinates.) A typical example of compressed polytopes is the Birkho polytopes [10, Example 2.4 (b)]. Later, in [6], a large class of compressed polytopes including the Birkho polytopes is presented. Recently, Seth Sullivant [12] proved a surprising result that the class given in [6] does essentially contain all compressed polytopes.
