Plücker environments, wiring and tiling diagrams, and weakly separated set-systems

Abstract: For the ordered set

[n]

of

n

elements, we consider the class

B s c r_{n}

of bases

B

of tropical Pl"ucker functions on

2^{[n]}

such that

B

can be obtained by a series of mutations (flips) from the basis formed by the intervals in

[n]

. We show that these bases are representable by special wiring diagrams and by certain arrangements generalizing rhombus tilings on the

n

-zonogon. Based on the generalized tiling representation, we then prove that each weakly separated set-system in

2^{[n]}

having maximum possible size belongs to

B s c r_{n}

, thus answering affirmatively a conjecture due to Leclerc and Zelevinsky. We also prove an analogous result for a hyper-simplex

D e l t a_{n}^{m} = S s u b s e t e q [n] c o l o n | S | = m

.
