Originating in diverse branches of mathematics, from polytope algebra and toric varieties to the theory of stressed graphs, virtual polytopes represent a natural algebraic generalization of convex polytopes. Introduced as the Grothendick group associated to the semigroup of convex polytopes, they admit a variety of geometrizations. A selection of applications demonstrates their versatility.
