It has been conjectured that asymptotically almost all matroids are sparse paving, i.e. that $s(n) \sim m(n)$, where $m(n)$ denotes the number of matroids on a fixed groundset of size $n$, and $s(n)$ the number of sparse paving matroids. In…

We use counting arguments to show that asymptotically almost all sparse paving matroids contain an $H$-minor, where $H$ falls into one of several simple classes of matroids. Furthermore the result holds for all $H$ in a larger class of…

It has been conjectured that sparse paving matroids will eventually predominate in any asymptotic enumeration of matroids, i.e. that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} s_n/m_n = 1$, where $m_n$ denotes the number of matroids on $n$ elements, and…

We give two proofs that the $h$-vector of any paving matroid is a pure O-sequence, thus answering in the affirmative a conjecture made by R. Stanley, for this particular class of matroids. We also investigate the problem of obtaining good…

We provide evidence for five long-standing, basis-exchange conjectures for matroids by proving them for the enormous class of sparse paving matroids. We also explore the role that these matroids may play in the following problem: as a…

The property of balance (in the sense of Feder and Mihail) is investigated in the context of paving matroids. The following examples are exhibited: (a) a class of ``sparse'' paving matroids that are balanced, but at the same time rich…

In this work we present an algorithm to construct sparse-paving matroids over finite set $S$. From this algorithm we derive some useful bounds on the cardinality of the set of circuits of any Sparse-Paving matroids which allow us to prove…

We prove the positivity of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for sparse paving matroids, which are known to be logarithmically almost all matroids, but are conjectured to be almost all matroids. The positivity follows from a remarkably simple…

We show that the base polytope $P_M$ of any paving matroid $M$ can be systematically obtained from a hypersimplex by slicing off certain subpolytopes, namely base polytopes of lattice path matroids corresponding to panhandle-shaped Ferrers…

Let $\mathcal B=\mathcal B_{k,n,p}$ be a random collection of $k$-subsets of $[n]$ where each possible set is present independently with probability $p$. Let $\cal E_{\mathcal B}$ be the event that $\mathcal B$ defines the set of bases of a…

In this paper we highlight some enumerative results concerning matroids of low rank and prove the tail-ends of various sequences involving the number of matroids on a finite set to be log-convex. We give a recursion for a new, slightly…

In 1993, Csima and Sawyer proved that in a non-pencil arrangement of n pseudolines, there are at least $\frac{6}{13}n$ simple points of intersection. Since pseudoline arrangements are the topological representations of reorientation classes…

Using Postnikov's Le-diagrams, decorated permutations, and Grassmann necklaces, we classify which positroids are sparse paving matroids. This allows us to enumerate sparse paving positroids, making connections to a known sequence involving…

We prove that the Tutte polynomial of a coloopless paving matroid is convex along the portions of the line segments x+y=p lying in the positive quadrant. Every coloopless paving matroids is in the class of matroids which contain two…

We give a characterization of a matroid to be paving, through its set of hyperplanes and give an algorithm to construct all of them.

In this article we disprove the conjectures asserting the positivity of the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial of matroid polytopes by De Loera, Haws and K\"oppe (2007) and of generalized permutohedra by Castillo and Liu (2015). We…

We prove that every paving matroid that is an excluded minor of interval positroids can be reduced to one of three fundamental families of excluded minors of interval positroids by relaxing dependent hyperplanes. Using this result, we…

Panhandle matroids are a specific family of lattice-path matroids corresponding to panhandle-shaped Ferrers diagrams. Their matroid polytopes are the subpolytopes carved from a hypersimplex to form matroid polytopes of paving matroids. It…

Consider a matroid $M$ whose ground set is equipped with a labeling to an abelian group. A basis of $M$ is called $F$-avoiding if the sum of the labels of its elements is not in a forbidden label set $F$. H\"orsch, Imolay, Mizutani, Oki,…

We consider the relationship between a matroidal analogue of the degree $a$ Cayley-Bacharach property (finite sets of points failing to impose independent conditions on degree $a$ hypersurfaces) and geometric properties of matroids. If the…
