Abstract
Given a root system , the vector system is obtained by taking a representative in each antipodal pair . The matroid is formed by all independent subsets of . 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 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.
