Mixed volumes of matroids by flips Yang, Kai Hsiang

Abstract

Matroid flips are an operation on simplicial fans introduced by Adiprasito, Huh, and Katz. They used matroid flips to prove the Poincaré Duality, Hard Lefschetz property, and Hodge Riemann relations for Chow rings of matroids. In the case of matroids, the mixed volume polynomial is a homogeneous polynomial which encodes all the data of the Chow ring. We provide a formula, using matroid flips, for the mixed volume of a matroid.
