Quaternionic geometry of matroids

Tamás Hausel (2005)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Building on a recent paper [8], here we argue that the combinatorics of matroids are intimately related to the geometry and topology of toric hyperkähler varieties. We show that just like toric varieties occupy a central role in Stanley’s proof for the necessity of McMullen’s conjecture (or g-inequalities) about the classification of face vectors of simplicial polytopes, the topology of toric hyperkähler varieties leads to new restrictions on face vectors of matroid complexes. Namely...

Generalized polar varieties and an efficient real elimination

Bernd Bank, Marc Giusti, Joos Heintz, Luis M. Pardo (2004)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Let W be a closed algebraic subvariety of the n -dimensional projective space over the complex or real numbers and suppose that W is non-empty and equidimensional. In this paper we generalize the classic notion of polar variety of W associated with a given linear subvariety of the ambient space of W . As particular instances of this new notion of generalized polar variety we reobtain the classic ones and two new types of polar varieties, called dual and (in case that W is affine) conic....

Higher order duality and toric embeddings

Alicia Dickenstein, Sandra Di Rocco, Ragni Piene (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

The notion of higher order dual varieties of a projective variety, introduced by Piene in 1983, is a natural generalization of the classical notion of projective duality. In this paper we study higher order dual varieties of projective toric embeddings. We express the degree of the second dual variety of a 2-jet spanned embedding of a smooth toric threefold in geometric and combinatorial terms, and we classify those whose second dual variety has dimension less than expected. We also...

Schubert varieties, toric varieties and ladder determinantal varieties

Nicolae Gonciulea, Venkatramani Lakshmibai (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We construct certain normal toric varieties (associated to finite distributive lattices) which are degenerations of the Grassmannians. We also determine the singular loci for certain normal toric varieties, namely the ones which are certain ladder determinantal varieties. As a consequence, we prove a refined version of the conjecture of Laksmibai & Sandhya [Criterion for smoothness of Schubert varieties in S L ( n ) / B , Proc. Ind. Acad. Sci., 100 (1990), 45-52] on the components of the singular...
