The regular fine mixed subdivision 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 let a fine mixed subdivision be regular if it is induced by assigning heights to the vertices of the summands and projecting the lower facets of the resulting lifted Minkowski sum. For a basis of , say that the simplices of a subdivision are located at when their locations are exactly the elements of . The regular fine mixed subdivision conjecture. For any basis of , there is a regular fine mixed subdivision of whose simplices are located at . This is stated as a stronger converse to the preceding conjectural characterization, requiring every matroid basis to arise from a regular fine mixed subdivision; the source gives no resolution.
