Valuative invariants for polymatroids

چکیده
Many important invariants for matroids and polymatroids, such as the Tutte polynomial, the Billera-JiaReiner quasi-symmetric function, and the invariant G introduced by the first author, are valuative. In this paper we construct the Z-modules of all Z-valued valuative functions for labeled matroids and polymatroids on a fixed ground set, and their unlabeled counterparts, the Z-modules of valuative invariants. We give explicit bases for these modules and for their dual modules generated by indicator functions of polytopes, and explicit formulas for their ranks. Our results confirm a conjecture of the first author that G is universal for valuative invariants. Résumé. Beaucoup des invariants importants des matroı̈des et polymatroı̈des, tels que le polynôme de Tutte, la fonction quasi-symmetrique de Billera-Jia-Reiner, et l’invariant G introduit par le premier auteur, sont valuatifs. Dans cet article nous construisons les Z-modules de fonctions valuatives aux valeurs entières des matroı̈des et polymatroı̈des étiquetés définis sur un ensemble fixe, et leurs équivalents pas étiquetés, les Z-modules des invariants valuatifs. Nous fournissons des bases des ces modules et leurs modules duels, engendrés par fonctions charactéristiques des polytopes, et des formules explicites donnants leurs rangs. Nos résultats confirment une conjecture du premier auteur, que G soit universel pour les invariants valuatifs.

متن کاملRank-Metric Codes and $q$-Polymatroids
We study some algebraic and combinatorial invariants of rank-metric codes, specifically generalized weights. We introduce q-polymatroids, the q-analogue of polymatroids, and develop their basic properties. We show that rank-metric codes give rise to q-polymatroids, and that several of their structural properties are captured by the associated combinatorial object. Introduction and Motivation Du...
متن کاملValuative Arf Characteristic of Singularities
The proof by Hironaka [5] of resolution of singularities of algebraic varieties over fields of characteristic zero raised the problem of classifying singularities by looking at the resolution process. Thus, equisingularity of plane curve singularities was introduced and developed by Zariski in [15] by showing that the combinatorics of the resolution processes is equivalent data to Puiseux invar...
متن کاملDiscrete Polymatroids
The discrete polymatroid is a multiset analogue of the matroid. Based on the polyhedral theory on integral polymatroids developed in late 1960’s and in early 1970’s, in the present paper the combinatorics and algebra on discrete polymatroids will be studied.
متن کاملA class of transversal polymatroids with Gorenstein base ring
In this paper, the principal tool to describe transversal polymatroids with Gorenstein base ring is polyhedral geometry, especially the Danilov−Stanley theorem for the characterization of canonical module. Also, we compute the a − invariant and the Hilbert series of base ring associated to this class of transversal polymatroids.
