Matroids appear in diverse areas of mathematics, from
combinatorics to algebraic topology and geometry. This largely
self-contained work provides an intuitive and interdisciplinary
treatment of Coxeter matroids, a new and beautiful generalization
of matroids which is based on a finite Coxeter group.
Key topics and features:
* Systematic, clearly written exposition with ample references
to current research
* Matroids are examined in terms of symmetric and finite
reflection groups
* Finite reflection groups and Coxeter groups are developed from
scratch
* The Gelfand-Serganova Theorem is presented, allowing for a
geometric interpretation of matroids and Coxeter matroids as convex
polytopes with certain symmetry properties
* Matroid representations and combinatorial flag varieties are
studied in the final chapter
* Many exercises throughout
* Excellent bibliography and index
Accessible to graduate students and research mathematicians
alike, Coxeter Matroids can be used as an introductory survey, a
graduate course text, or a reference volume.
