Review text

A Coxeter matroid, also called WP-matroid, is a subset \(M\) of the set of cosets \(W/P\) of a Coxeter group \(W\) modulo a parabolic subgroup \(P\) such that \(M\) satisfies a certain maximality condition. More precisely, for each \(w\in W\) there is an element \(x\in M\) such that for all \(y\in M\) the element \(w^{-1}y\) precedes or equals \(w^{-1}x\) in the strong Bruhat order, compare \textit{A. V. Borovik, I. Gelfand}, and \textit{N. White} [Adv. Math. 120, No. 2, 258-264, Art. No. 0038 (1996; Zbl 0858.05025)]. In this context an ordinary matroid is a Coxeter matroid corresponding to the symmetric group, see \textit{N. L. White} [Contemp. Math. 197, 401-409 (1996; Zbl 0862.05021)]. A symplectic matroid is a Coxeter matroid in which the Coxeter group is the group of symmetries of the \(n\)-cube. In this paper the authors examine the basic algebraic and geometric properties of symplectic matroids.
