    In this paper authors associate a class in the K-theory of the Grassmannian to every matroid. They study this class by using the method of equivariant localization. In particular, they provide a geometric interpretation of the Tutte polynomial and they extend the second author's results concerning the behavior of such classes under direct sum, series and parallel connection, and two-sum. These results were previously only established for realizable matroids, and their earlier proofs were more difficult.
