Valuative invariants for polymatroids

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Many important invariants for matroids and polymatroids, such as the Tutte polynomial, the Billera-Jia-Reiner quasi-symmetric function, and the invariant mathcalG introduced by the first author, are valuative. In this paper we construct the -modules of all -valued valuative functions for labeled matroids and polymatroids on a fixed ground set, and their unlabeled counterparts, the -modules of valuative invariants. We give explicit bases for these modules and for their dual modules generated by indicator functions of polytopes, and explicit formulas for their ranks. Our results confirm a conjecture of the first author that mathcalG is universal for valuative invariants.
