Abstract

Given a root system R\mathsf{R}, the vector system R~\tilde{\mathsf{R}} is obtained by taking a representative vv in each antipodal pair {v,v}\{v, -v\}. The matroid M(R)M(\mathsf{R}) is formed by all independent subsets of R~\tilde{\mathsf{R}}. The automorphism group of a matroid is the group of permutations preserving its independent subsets. We prove that the automorphism groups of all irreducible root systems matroids M(R)M(\mathsf{R}) are uniquely determined by their independent sets of size 3. As a corollary, we compute these groups explicitly, and thus complete the classification of the automorphism groups of root systems matroids.
