We study point-line configurations through the lens of projective geometry and matroid theory. Our focus is on their realisation spaces, where we introduce the concepts of liftable and quasi-liftable configurations, exploring cases in which…

Motivated by the relation holding for the m-generalized Catalan numbers of type A and C, the connection between dominant regions of the m-Shi arrangement of type A and C is investigated. In the same line of thought, a bijection between mn+1…

Genevois introduced and investigated mediangle graphs as a common generalization of median graphs (1-sekeleta of CAT(0) cube complexes) and Coxeter graphs (Cayley graphs of Coxeter systems) and studied groups acting on them. He asked if…

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be an extriangulated category with enough projectives and injectives. We give a new definition of tilting subcategories of $\mathscr{C}$ and prove it coincides with the definition given in [19]. As applications, we…

A matroid is a machine capturing linearity of mathematical objects and producing combinatorial structures. Matroid structure arises everywhere since linearity is a ubiquitous concept. One natural way to obtain matroids is by considering…

We present bijections for planar maps with boundaries. In particular, we obtain bijections for triangulations and quadrangulations of the sphere with boundaries of prescribed lengths. For triangulations we recover the beautiful factorized…

We consider maps on orientable surfaces. A map is called \emph{unicellular} if it has a single face. A \emph{covered map} is a map (of genus $g$) with a marked unicellular spanning submap (which can have any genus in $\{0,1,...,g\}$). Our…

We construct weight-preserving bijections between column strict shifted plane partitions with one row and alternating sign trapezoids with exactly one column in the left half that sums to $1$. Amongst other things, they relate the number of…

We give a different presentation of a recent bijection due to Chapuy and Dol\k{e}ga for nonorientable bipartite quadrangulations and we extend it to the case of nonorientable general maps. This can be seen as a Bouttier--Di…

Building on a recent characterization of tope graphs of Complexes of Oriented Matroids (COMs), we tackle and generalize several classical problems in Oriented Matroids (OMs), Lopsided Sets (aka ample set systems), and partial cubes via…

Tropical geometry gives a bound on the ranks of divisors on curves in terms of the combinatorics of the dual graph of a degeneration. We show that for a family of examples, curves realizing this bound might only exist over certain…

Motivated by Kontsevich's graph complexes, this paper gives a systematic study of matroid complexes. We construct deletion and contraction bicomplexes on the vector space spanned by matroid classes equipped with ground-set orientations,…

We show that, given a rank 3 affine root system $\Phi$ with Weyl group $W$, there is a unique oriented matroid structure on $\Phi$ which is $W$-equivariant and restricts to the usual matroid structure on rank 2 subsystems. Such oriented…

We give a bijection between the set of self-conjugate partitions and that of ordinary partitions. Also, we show the relation between hook lengths of self conjugate partition and corresponding partition via the bijection. As a corollary, we…

We study a generalization of tropical oriented matroids by Ardila and Develin, and show that they are in bijection with subdivisions of root polytopes, which are sub-polytopes of a product of two simplices.

We enrich Baker and Bowler's theory of matroids over tracts with notions of vectors and covectors. In the case of oriented matroids, these $F$-vectors and $F$-covectors coincide with the usual signed vectors and signed covectors. In the…

We consider the problem of finding a bijection between the sets of alternating sign matrices and of totally symmetric self complementary plane partitions, which can be reformulated using Gog and Magog triangles. In a previous work we…

It is well known that a matroid L is a lift of a matroid M if and only if every circuit of L is the union of some circuits of M. In this paper we give a simpler proof of this important theorem. We also described a discrete homotopy theorem…

Motivated by the Poisson Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence problem, a systematic study of commutative unitary rings equipped with a {\em biderivation}, namely a binary operation that is a derivation in each argument, is here begun, with an eye…

This is an introductory paper about the category of regular oriented matroids (ROMs). We compare the homotopy types of the categories of regular and binary matroids. For example, in the unoriented case, they have the same fundamental group…
