We initiate a polyhedral study of the graph multi-separator problem proposed by Irmai et al. (2024) as an alternative to the lifted multicut problem for application to the task of image segmentation. Starting with an integer linear program (ILP) formulation and the multi-separator polytope spanned by its feasible solutions, we characterize in terms of efficiently-decidable, graph-theoretic conditions all facets induced by inequalities of the ILP. We proceed by strengthening these inequalities and describing additional facets of some multi-separator polytopes induced by the stronger inequalitie
