Schubert varieties of hyperplane arrangements, also known as matroid Schubert varieties, play an essential role in the proof of the Dowling-Wilson conjecture and in Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for matroids. We study these varieties as…

Fitting an unknown number of hyperplanes to data is a fundamental yet challenging problem in machine learning, characterized by its non-convexity, non-differentiability, and unknown model order. Existing approaches often struggle with local…
