AbstractGiven a d-dimensional convex polytope P and nonnegative integer k not exceeding d−1, let
${mathcal{G}}_{k}(P)$
denote the simple graph on the node set of k-dimensional faces of P in which two such faces are adjacent if there exists a (k+1)-dimensional face of P which contains them both. The graph
${mathcal{G}}_{k}(P)$
is isomorphic to the dual graph of the (d−k)-dimensional skeleton of the normal fan of P. For fixed values of k and d, the largest integer m such that
${mathcal{G}}_{k}(P)$
is m-vertex-connected for all d-dimensional polytopes P is determined. This result generalizes Balinski’s theorem on the one-dimensional skeleton of a d-dimensional convex polytope.
