Automorphism groups of root system matroids

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a root system mathsfR, the vector system ildemathsfR is obtained by taking a representative v in each antipodal pair v,−v. The matroid M(mathsfR) is formed by all independent subsets of ildemathsfR. 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(mathsfR) are uniquely determined by their independent sets of size 3. As a corollary, we compute these groups explicitly, and thus complete the classification of the automorphism groups of root systems matroids.
