Log-concavity of matroid h-vectors and mixed Eulerian numbers (2005.01937v3)
Published 5 May 2020 in math.AG and math.CO
Abstract: For any matroid $M$, we compute the Tutte polynomial $T_M(x,y)$ using the mixed intersection numbers of certain classes in the combinatorial Chow ring $A\bullet(M)$ arising from hypersimplices. Using the mixed Hodge-Riemann relations, we deduce a strengthening of the log-concavity of the $h$-vector of a matroid complex, improving on an old conjecture of Dawson.
