Source abstract
Abstract We establish a connection between the algebraic geometry of the type permutohedral toric variety and the combinatorics of delta‐matroids. Using this connection, we compute the volume and lattice point counts of type generalized permutohedra. Applying tropical Hodge theory to a new framework of “tautological classes of delta‐matroids,” modeled after certain vector bundles associated to realizable delta‐matroids, we establish the log‐concavity of a Tutte‐like invariant for a broad family of delta‐matroids that includes all realizable delta‐matroids. Our results include new log‐concavity statements for all (ordinary) matroids as special cases.
