Toric ideals of Minkowski sums of unit simplices
Algebraic Combinatorics, Volume 3 (2020) no. 4, pp. 831-837.

In this paper, we discuss the toric ideals of the Minkowski sums of unit simplices. More precisely, we prove that the toric ideal of the Minkowski sum of unit simplices has a squarefree initial ideal and is generated by quadratic binomials. Moreover, we also prove that the Minkowski sums of unit simplices have the integer decomposition property. Those results are a partial contribution to Oda conjecture and Bøgvad conjecture.
