The fine mixed subdivision basis conjecture for the matroid
The fine mixed subdivision basis conjecture for the matroid
Let be the matroid introduced from the combinatorial encoding of arrangements of generic complete flags in . Let be the Minkowski sum of copies of the simplex , and consider the fine mixed subdivisions of this polytope. The locations of the simplices in such a subdivision form subsets of the ground set of . The fine mixed subdivision basis conjecture. The possible locations of the simplices in a fine mixed subdivision of are precisely the bases of the matroid . This would extend the established connection between fine mixed subdivisions, triangulations of products of simplices, and the matroid of generic flag arrangements; the source presents it as a conjectural generalization, with no resolution stated.
