Toward a Connection between the Oriented Matroid Theory and Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We considered the possibility that the oriented matroid theory is connected with supersymmetry via the Grassmann-Plucker relations. The main reason for this, is that such relations arise in both in the chirotopes definition of an oriented matroid, and in maximally supersymmetric solutions of elevenand ten-dimensional supergravity theories. Taking this observation as a motivation, and using the concept of a phirotope, we propose a mechanism to implement supersymmetry in the context of the oriented matroid theory.

Search for a “gravitoid” Theory
By combining the concepts of graviton and matroid, we outline a new gravitational theory which we call gravitoid theory. The idea of this theory emerged as an attempt to link the mathematical structure of matroid theory with M-theory. Our observations are essentially based on the formulation of matroid bundle due to MacPherson and Anderson-Davis. Also, by considering the oriented matroid theory...
متن کاملMaximal Supersymmetry in Eleven-dimensional Supergravity Revisited and Chirotopes
We analyze maximal supersymmetry in eleven-dimensional supergravity from the point of view of the oriented matroid theory. The mathematical key tools in our discussion are the Englert solution and the chirotope concept. We argue that chirotopes may provide other solutions not only for elevendimensional supergravity but for any higher dimensional supergravity theory.
متن کاملObject and image indexing based on region connection calculus and oriented matroid theory
In this paper a novel method for indexing views of 3D objects is presented. The topological properties of the regions of views of an object or of a set of objects are used to define an index based on region connection calculus and oriented matroid theory. Both are formalisms for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning and are complementary in the sense that, whereas region connection c...

متن کاملSearching for a Connection between Matroid Theory and String Theory
We make a number of observations about matter-ghost string phase, which may eventually lead to a formal connection between matroid theory and string theory. In particular, in order to take advantage of the already established connection between matroid theory and Chern-Simons theory, we propose a generalization of string theory in terms of some kind of Kahler metric. We show that this generaliz...
