Unlike Whitney's definition of the corank-nullity generating function $T(G;x+1,y+1)$, Tutte's definition of his now eponymous polynomial $T(G;x,y)$ requires a total order on the edges of which the polynomial is a posteriori independent.…

In this short note we show that a system $M=(E,r)$ with a ground set $E$ of size $m$ and (rank) function $r: 2^E\to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ satisfying $r(S)\leq \min(r(E),|S|)$ for every set $S\subseteq E$, the Tutte polynomial…

We introduce a new matroid (graph) invariant, the arboricity polynomial. Given a matroid, the arboricity polynomial enumerates the number of covers of the ground set by disjoint independent sets. We establish the polynomiality of the…

We consider 3 (weighted) posets associated with a graph G - the poset P(G) of distinct induced unlabelled subgraphs, the lattice Omega(G) of distinct unlabelled graphs induced by connected partitions, and the poset Q(G) of distinct…

Motivated by the notion of the inverse $Z$-polynomial introduced by Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Vecchi, we study the equivariant inverse $Z$-polynomial of a matroid equipped with a finite group. We prove that the coefficients of the…

We give a generating set for linear relations on Tutte polynomials of rank-$r$ size-$n$ freedom matroids.

The Tutte polynomial is a fundamental invariant of graphs. In this article, we define and study a generalization of the Tutte polynomial for directed graphs, that we name B-polynomial. The B-polynomial has three variables, but when…

In this paper, we study ideals spanned by polynomials or overconvergent series in a Tate algebra. With state-of-the-art algorithms for computing Tate Gr{\"o}bner bases, even if the input is polynomials, the size of the output grows with the…

We generalize Gaeta's Theorem to the family of determinantal schemes. In other words, we show that the schemes defined by minors of a fixed size of a matrix with polynomial entries belong to the same G-biliaison class of a complete…

We provide a matrix-based formula for the Tutte symmetric function of a graph. In particular, for any graph $G$ with a designated head and tail vertex, we describe an infinite matrix $M_G$ from which the Tutte symmetric function can be…

In this work, we introduce the harmonic generalization of the $m$-tuple weight enumerators of codes over finite Frobenius rings. A harmonic version of the MacWilliams-type identity for $m$-tuple weight enumerators of codes over finite…

This is a survey recent works on topological extensions of the Tutte polynomial.

We give explicit recursive constructions for the polytope of all matroids $\Omega_{r,n}$ in ranks 2 and 3 for all ground set sizes. This polytope was introduced in recent work by Ferroni and Fink as a tool for checking positivity…

We study tropical subrepresentations of the Boolean regular representation $\mathbb{B}[G]$ of a finite group $G$. These are equivalent to the matroids on ground set $G$ for which left-multiplication by each element of $G$ is a matroid…

In $1980$ White conjectured that every element of the toric ideal of a matroid is generated by quadratic binomials corresponding to symmetric exchanges. We prove White's conjecture for high degrees with respect to the rank. This extends our…

Given a 4-regular graph $F$, we introduce a binary matroid $M_{\tau}(F)$ on the set of transitions of $F$. Parametrized versions of the Tutte polynomial of $M_{\tau}(F)$ yield several well-known graph and knot polynomials, including the…

Fix two lattice paths P and Q from (0,0) to (m,r) that use East and North steps with P never going above Q. We show that the lattice paths that go from (0,0) to (m,r) and that remain in the region bounded by P and Q can be identified with…

Let G be a finite connected graph. The Kirchhoff polynomial of G is a certain homogeneous polynomial whose degree is equal to the first betti number of G. These polynomials appear in the study of electrical circuits and in the evaluation of…

A transversal matroid whose dual is also transversal is called bi-transversal. Let $G$ be an undirected graph with vertex set $V$. In this paper, for every subset $W$ of $V$, we associate a bi-transversal matroid to the pair $(G,W)$. We…

We introduce the Z-polynomial of a matroid, which we define in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial. We then exploit a symmetry of the Z-polynomial to derive a new recursion for Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients. We solve this recursion,…
