We study the facial structure of two important permutation polytopesin Rn2, the Birkhoff or assignment polytope B n , defined as theconvex hull of all n \Theta n permutation matrices, and the asymmetrictraveling salesman polytope T n , defined as the convex hull of thosen \Theta n permutation matrices corresponding to n-cycles. Using an isomorphismbetween the face lattice of B n and the lattice of elementarybipartite graphs, we show, for example, that every pair of vertices ofB n ...
