Abstract: In this paper, we study the connected blocks polytope, which, apart from its own merits, can be seen as the generalization of certain connectivity based or Eulerian subgraph polytopes. We provide a complete facet description of this polytope, characterize its edges and show that it is Hirsch. We also show that connected blocks polytopes admit a regular unimodular triangulation by constructing a squarefree Gröbner basis. In addition, we prove that the polytope is Gorenstein of index 2 and that its h ∗ -vector is unimodal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
