Equivariant Kazhdan--Lusztig Polynomials of Thagomizer Matroids with a Hyperoctahedral Group Action

Matthew H. Y. Xie, Philip B. Zhang, Michael X. X. Zhong

The thagomizer matroid, realized as the graphic matroid of the complete tripartite graph , has full automorphism group isomorphic to the hyperoctahedral group whenever $…

Equivariant inverse -polynomials of matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Yun Li, Matthew H. Y. Xie

Motivated by the notion of the inverse -polynomial introduced by Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Vecchi, we study the equivariant inverse -polynomial of a matroid equipped wi…

Equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Yun Li, Matthew H. Y. Xie

In this paper, we focus on the equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids, a natural family of graphic matroids associated with the complete tripartite…

The inverse -polynomial of a matroid

Alice L. L. Gao, Xuan Ruan, Matthew H. Y. Xie

Motivated by the -polynomials of matroids, Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Vecchi introduced the inverse -polynomial of a matroid. In this paper, we prove several fundamental…

Log-concavity of inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of paving matroids

Matthew H. Y. Xie, Philip B. Zhang

Gao and Xie (2021) conjectured that the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any matroid is log-concave. Although the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial may not always have only r…
