Matroid Automorphisms of the F4 Root System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let F4 be the root system associated with the 24-cell, and let M(F4) be the simple linear dependence matroid corresponding to this root system. We determine the automorphism group of this matroid and compare it to the Coxeter group W for the root system. We find non-geometric automorphisms that preserve the matroid but not the root system.

Matroid Automorphisms of the Root System F4
Let F4 be the root system associated with the 24-cell, and let M(F4) be the simple linear dependence matroid corresponding to this root system. We determine the automorphism group of this matroid and compare it to the Coxeter group W for the root system. We find non-geometric automorphisms that preserve the matroid but not the root system.
متن کاملMatroid Automorphisms And Symmetry Groups
For a subgroup W of the hyperoctahedral group On which is generated by reflections, we consider the linear dependence matroid MW on the column vectors corresponding to the reflections in W . We determine all possible automorphism groups of MW and determine when W ∼= Aut(MW ). This allows us to connect combinatorial and geometric symmetry. Applications to zonotopes are also considered. Signed gr...
متن کاملProfiles of separations in graphs and matroids
We show that all the tangles in a finite graph or matroid can be distinguished by a single tree-decomposition that is invariant under the automorphisms of the graph or matroid. This comes as a corollary of a similar decomposition theorem for more general combinatorial structures, which has further applications.
متن کاملAutomorphism groups of root system matroids
Given a root system R, the vector system R̃ is obtained by taking a representative v in each antipodal pair {v,−v}. The matroid M(R) is formed by all independent subsets of R̃. The automorphism group of a matroid is the group of permutations preserving its independent subsets. We prove that the automorphism groups of all irreducible root systems matroids M(R) are uniquely determined by their inde...
متن کاملA Supersingular K 3 Surface in Characteristic 2 and the Leech Lattice
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Consider F4 ⊂ k and P(F4) ⊂ P(k). Let P be the set of points and let P̌ be the set of lines in P(F4). Each set contains 21 elements, each point is contained in exactly 5 lines, and each line contains exactly 5 points. It is known that the group of automorphisms of the configuration (P, P̌) is isomorphic to M21 ·D12, where M21(∼ = PSL(3,F...
