Permutonestohedra

There are several real spherical models associated with a root arrangement, depending on the choice of a building set. The connected components of these models are manifolds with corners which can be glued together to obtain the corresponding real De Concini-Procesi models. In this paper, starting from any root system Phi with finite Coxeter group W and any W-invariant building set, we describe an explicit realization of the real spherical model as a union of polytopes (nestohedra) which lie inside the chambers of the arrangement. The main point of this realization is that the convex hull of these nestohedra is a larger polytope, a permutonestohedron, equipped with an action of W or also, depending on the building set, of Aut(Phi). The permutonestohedra are natural generalizations of Kapranov's permutoassociahedra.
