The regular fine mixed subdivision conjecture for the matroid
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.
