โฆ Synopsis
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, for a finite Coxeter group W, the mod 2 boundary operator on the space of all Coxeter matroids (also known as WPmatroids) for W and P, where P varies through all the proper standard parabolic subgroups of W (Theorem 3 of the paper). A remarkably simple interpretation of Coxeter matroids as certain sets of faces of the generalized permutahedron associated with the Coxeter group W (Theorem 1) yields a natural definition of the boundary of a Coxeter matroid. The latter happens to be a union of Coxeter matroids for maximal standard parabolic subgroups Q i of P (Theorem 2). These results have very natural interpretations in the case of ordinary matroids and flagmatroids (Section 3).

We investigate several hyperplane arrangements that can be viewed as deformations of Coxeter arrangements. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Linial and Stanley that the number of regions of the arrangement x i &x j =1, 1 i< j n, is equal to the number of alternating trees on n+1 vertices. Rema
Let P be a polygon on hyperbolic plane H 2 . A Coxeter decomposition of a polygon P is a nontrivial decomposition of P into finitely many Coxeter polygons F i , such that any two polygons F 1 and F 2 having a common side are symmetric with respect to this common side. In this paper we classify the C
