Tautological classes of matroids

A Berget, C Eur, H Spink, D Tseng - Inventiones mathematicae, 2023 - Springer
We introduce certain torus-equivariant classes on permutohedral varieties which we call
“tautological classes of matroids” as a new geometric framework for studying matroids …

Simplicial generation of Chow rings of matroids

S Backman, C Eur, C Simpson - Journal of the European Mathematical …, 2023 - ems.press
We introduce a presentation of the Chow ring of a matroid by a new set of generators, called
“simplicial generators.” These generators are analogous to nef divisors on projective toric …

Matroid theory for algebraic geometers

E Katz - Nonarchimedean and tropical geometry, 2016 - Springer
This article is an introduction to matroid theory aimed at algebraic geometers. Matroids are
combinatorial abstractions of linear subspaces and hyperplane arrangements. Not all …

Maximum Likelihood Degree, Complete Quadrics, and -Action

M Michałek, L Monin, JA Wisniewski - SIAM journal on applied algebra and …, 2021 - SIAM
We study the maximum likelihood (ML) degree of linear concentration models in algebraic
statistics. We relate it to an intersection problem on the variety of complete quadrics. This …

The geometry of matroids

F Ardila - Notices of the AMS, 2018 - ams.org
Matroid theory is a combinatorial theory of independence which has its origins in linear
algebra and graph theory and turns out to have deep connections with many other fields …

A tropical approach to a generalized Hodge conjecture for positive currents

F Babaee, J Huh - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
In 1982, Demailly showed that the Hodge conjecture follows from the statement that all
positive closed currents with rational cohomology class can be approximated by positive …

Log-concavity of matroid h-vectors and mixed Eulerian numbers

A Berget, H Spink, D Tseng - Duke Mathematical Journal, 2023 - projecteuclid.org
For any matroid M, we compute the Tutte polynomial TM (x, y) using the mixed intersection
numbers of certain classes in the combinatorial Chow ring A∙(M) arising from …

Toric orbifolds associated with partitioned weight polytopes in classical types

T Horiguchi, M Masuda, J Shareshian, J Song - Selecta Mathematica, 2024 - Springer
Given a root system Φ of type A n, B n, C n, or D n in Euclidean space E, let W be the
associated Weyl group. For a point p∈ E not orthogonal to any of the roots in Φ, we consider …

[HTML][HTML] Generic torus orbit closures in Schubert varieties

E Lee, M Masuda - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2020 - Elsevier
The closure of a generic torus orbit in the flag variety G/B of type A n− 1 is known to be a
permutohedral variety and well studied. In this paper we introduce the notion of a generic …
