Oriented Matroids Today
نویسنده
چکیده
This dynamic survey offers an “entry point” for current research in oriented matroids. For this, it provides updates on the 1993 monograph “Oriented Matroids” by Björner, Las Vergnas, Sturmfels, White & Ziegler [73], in three parts: 1. a sketch of a few “Frontiers of Research” in oriented matroid theory, 2. an update of corrections, comments and progress as compared to [73], and 3. an extensive, complete and up-to-date bibliography of oriented matroids, comprising and extending the bibliography of [73].

The flow lattice of oriented matroids
Recently Hochstättler and Nešetřil introduced the flow lattice of an oriented matroid as generalization of the lattice of all integer flows of a digraph or more general a regular matroid. This lattice is defined as the integer hull of the characteristic vectors of signed circuits. Here, we characterize the flow lattice of oriented matroids that are uniform or have rank 3 with a particular focus...
متن کاملThe switching game on unions of oriented matroids
In 1986, Hamidoune and Las Vergnas [3] introduced an oriented matroid version of the so-called Shannon’s switching game. They conjectured that the classification of the directed switching game on oriented matroids is identical to the classification of the non-oriented version. In this note, we support this conjecture by showing its validity for an infinity class of oriented matroids obtained as...
متن کاملTesting Orientability for Matroids is NP-complete
Matroids and oriented matroids are fundamental objects in combinatorial geometry. While matroids model the behavior of vector configurations over general fields, oriented matroids model the behavior of vector configurations over ordered fields. For every oriented matroid there is a corresponding underlying oriented matroid. This paper addresses the question how difficult it is to algorithmicall...
متن کاملCircuit Admissible Triangulations of Oriented Matroids Jörg Rambau
All triangulations of euclidean oriented matroids are of the same PLhomeomorphism type by a result of Anderson. That means all triangulations of euclidean acyclic oriented matroids are PL-homeomorphic to PL-balls and that all triangulations of totally cyclic oriented matroids are PL-homeomorphic to PLspheres. For non-euclidean oriented matroids this question is wide open. One key point in the p...
متن کاملOn tope graphs of complexes of oriented matroids
We give two graph theoretical characterizations of tope graphs of (complexes of) oriented matroids. The first is in terms of excluded partial cube minors, the second is that all antipodal subgraphs are gated. A direct consequence is a third characterization in terms of zone graphs of tope graphs. Further corollaries include a characterization of topes of oriented matroids due to da Silva, anoth...
