Lagrangian geometry of matroids

F Ardila, G Denham, J Huh - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2023 - ams.org
We introduce the conormal fan of a matroid $\operatorname {M} $, which is a Lagrangian
analog of the Bergman fan of $\operatorname {M} $. We use the conormal fan to give a …

The geometry of geometries: matroid theory, old and new

F Ardila - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.08726, 2021 - arxiv.org
The theory of matroids or combinatorial geometries originated in linear algebra and graph
theory, and has deep connections with many other areas, including field theory, matching …

Examples and counterexamples in Ehrhart theory

L Ferroni, A Higashitani - EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences, 2024 - ems.press
This article provides a comprehensive exposition about inequalities that the coefficients of
Ehrhart polynomials and h-polynomials satisfy under various assumptions. We pay …

The tropical critical points of an affine matroid

F Ardila-Mantilla, C Eur, R Penaguiao - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2024 - SIAM
We prove that the number of tropical critical points of an affine matroid is equal to the beta
invariant of. Motivated by the computation of maximum likelihood degrees, this number is …

The bipermutahedron

F Ardila - arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.02295, 2020 - arxiv.org
The harmonic polytope and the bipermutahedron are two related polytopes which arose in
Ardila, Denham, and Huh's work on the Lagrangian geometry of matroids. We study the …

Toric configuration spaces: the bipermutahedron and beyond

N Nabijou - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2024 - Springer
We establish faithful tropicalisation for point configurations on algebraic tori. Building on
ideas from enumerative geometry, we introduce tropical scaffolds and use them to construct …

[PDF][PDF] The maximum likelihood degree of a matroid

F Ardila-Mantilla, C Eur, R Penaguiao - 2022 - raulpenaguiao.github.io
We prove that the maximum likelihood degree of a matroid M equals its beta invariant. For
an element e of M that is neither a loop nor a coloop, this is defined to be the degree of the …
