Hodge theory for combinatorial geometries
Annals of Mathematics, 2018•JSTOR
We prove the hard Lefschetz theorem and the Hodge-Riemann relations for a commutative
ring associated to an arbitrary matroid M. We use the Hodge-Riemann relations to resolve a
conjecture of Heron, Rota, and Welsh that postulates the log-concavity of the coefficients of
the characteristic polynomial of M. We furthermore conclude that the f-vector of the
independence complex of a matroid forms a log-concave sequence, proving a conjecture of
Mason and Welsh for general matroids.
