چکیده
Lattice Subdivisions and Tropical Oriented Matroids Featuring ∆ n−1 × ∆ d−1 LindsayCPiechnik Subdivisions of products of simplices, and their applications, appear across mathematics. In this thesis, they are the tie between two branches of my research: polytopal lattice subdivisions and tropical oriented matroid theory. The first chapter describes desirable combinatorial properties of subdivisions of lattice polytopes, and how they can be used to address algebraic questions. Chapter two discusses tropical hyperplane arrangements and the tropical oriented matroid theory they inspire, paying particular attention to the previously uninvestigated distinction between the generic and non-generic cases. The focus of chapter three is products of simplices, and their connections and applications to ideas covered in the first two chapters.

Triangulations of ∆n−1 ×∆d−1 and Tropical Oriented Matroids
Develin and Sturmfels showed that regular triangulations of ∆n−1 ×∆d−1 can be thought of as tropical polytopes. Tropical oriented matroids were defined by Ardila and Develin, and were conjectured to be in bijection with all subdivisions of ∆n−1 × ∆d−1. In this paper, we show that any triangulation of ∆n−1 × ∆d−1 encodes a tropical oriented matroid. We also suggest a new class of combinatorial o...
متن کاملA Topological Representation Theorem for tropical oriented matroids
Tropical oriented matroids were defined by Ardila and Develin in 2007. They are a tropical analogue of classical oriented matroids in the sense that they encode the properties of the types of points in an arrangement of tropical hyperplanes – in much the same way as the covectors of (classical) oriented matroids describe the types in arrangements of linear hyperplanes. Not every oriented matroi...
متن کاملIsotropical linear spaces and valuated Delta-matroids
The spinor variety is cut out by the quadratic Wick relations among the principal Pfaffians of an n×n skewsymmetric matrix. Its points correspond to n-dimensional isotropic subspaces of a 2n-dimensional vector space. In this paper we tropicalize this picture, and we develop a combinatorial theory of tropical Wick vectors and tropical linear spaces that are tropically isotropic. We characterize ...
متن کاملTopological Representation of Dual Pairs of Oriented Matroids
Among the many ways to view oriented matroids as geometrical objects, we consider two that have special properties: • Bland’s analysis of complementary subspaces in IRn [2] has the special feature that it simultaneously and symmetrically represents a realizable oriented matroid and its dual; • Lawrence’s topological representation of oriented matroids by arrangements of pseudospheres [4] has th...
متن کاملTropical Hyperplane Arrangements and Oriented Matroids
We study the combinatorial properties of a tropical hyperplane arrangement. We define tropical oriented matroids, and prove that they share many of the properties of ordinary oriented matroids. We show that a tropical oriented matroid determines a subdivision of a product of two simplices, and conjecture that this correspondence is a bijection.
