A property of the Birkhoff polytope
Algebraic Combinatorics, Tome 1 (2018) no. 2, pp. 275-281.

The Birkhoff polytope B n is the convex hull of all n×n permutation matrices in n×n . We compute the combinatorial symmetry group of the Birkhoff polytope.

A representation polytope is the convex hull of some finite matrix group GGL(d,). We show that the group of permutation matrices is essentially the only finite matrix group which yields a representation polytope with the same face lattice as the Birkhoff polytope.
