Equivariant Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of $q$-niform matroids

Abstract

We introduce $q$-analogues of uniform matroids, which we call $q$-niform matroids. While uniform matroids admit actions of symmetric groups, $q$-niform matroids admit actions of finite general linear groups. We show that the equivariant Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a $q$-niform matroid is the unipotent $q$-analogue of the equivariant Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of the corresponding uniform matroid, thus providing evidence for the positivity conjecture for equivariant Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.
