Description
Summary:The s-lecture hall polytopes P [subscript s] are a class of integer polytopes defined by Savage and Schuster which are closely related to the lecture hall partitions of Eriksson and Bousquet-Mélou. We define a half-open parallelopiped Par [subscript s] associated with P [subscript s] and give a simple description of its integer points. We use this description to recover earlier results of Savage et al. on the δ-vector (or h*-vector) and to obtain the connections to s-ascents and s-descents, as well as some generalizations of these results.
