Hodge theory for combinatorial geometries

K Adiprasito, J Huh, E Katz - 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 …

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 …

Log-concavity of characteristic polynomials and the Bergman fan of matroids

J Huh, E Katz - Mathematische Annalen, 2012 - Springer
In a recent paper, the first author proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the
characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a …

Lifting tropical intersections

B Osserman, S Payne - Documenta Mathematica, 2013 - ems.press
We show that points in the intersection of the tropicalizations of subvarieties of a torus lift to
algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations …

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 …

Tropical schemes, tropical cycles, and valuated matroids

D Maclagan, F Rincón - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2019 - ems.press
We show that the weights on a tropical variety can be recovered from the tropical scheme
structure proposed in [GG16], so there is a well-defined Hilbert–Chow morphism from a …

Intersection theory on tropicalizations of toroidal embeddings

A Gross - Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We show how to equip the cone complexes of toroidal embeddings with additional structure
that allows to define a balancing condition for weighted subcomplexes. We then proceed to …

Characteristic classes of affine varieties and Plücker formulas for affine morphisms

A Esterov - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2017 - ems.press
An enumerative problem on a variety V is usually solved by reduction to intersection theory
in the cohomology of a compactification of V. However, if the problem is invariant under a …

Logarithmic Donaldson–Thomas theory

D Maulik, D Ranganathan - Forum of Mathematics, Pi, 2024 - cambridge.org
Let X be a smooth and projective threefold with a simple normal crossings divisor D. We
construct the Donaldson–Thomas theory of the pair enumerating ideal sheaves on X relative …

Tropical refined curve counting via motivic integration

J Nicaise, S Payne, F Schroeter - Geometry & Topology, 2018 - msp.org
We propose a geometric interpretation of Block and Göttsche's refined tropical curve
counting invariants in terms of virtual χ− y specializations of motivic measures of …
