In particular, (−1)|V |χΓ(−1) equals the number of acyclic orientations of Γ. (An orientation α of Γ and a k -coloring x are compatible if xj ≥ xi whenever there is an edge oriented from i to j. An orientation is acyclic if it has no directed cycles.)

Theorem (Ehrhart 1962) EhrP(t) is a quasipolynomial in t of degree dim P with leading term vol P (normalized to aff P ∩ Zd ) and constant term EhrP(0) = χ(P) = 1. (Macdonald 1971) (−1)dim P EhrP(−t) enumerates the interior lattice points in tP. (A quasipolynomial is an expression cd(t) td + · · · + c1(t) t + c0(t) where c0, . . . , cd are periodic functions in t.)

Open problem
The magic subspace of the covering cluster ([d], L) is defined by all line sums given by L being equal. A permutation σ of [d] defines a reverse dominance order on the power set P([d]) by L σ L′ if, when L and L′ are written in decreasing order according to σ , say L = {σj1, . . . , σjl} where j1 > · · · > jl and L′ = {σj′
1, . . . , σj′ l′} where j′ 1 > · · · > j′ l′, then l ≤ l′ and j1 ≤ j′ 1, . . . , jl ≤ j′ l.
Conjecture A permutation σ of [d] is realizable by a positive point in the magic subspace of the covering cluster ([d], L) if and only if L is an antichain in the reverse dominance order due to σ.
