โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we present a definition of oriented Lagrangian symplectic matroids and their representations. Classical concepts of orientation and this extension may both be thought of as stratifications of thin Schubert cells into unions of connected components. The definitions are made first in terms of a combinatorial axiomatisation, and then again in terms of elementary geometric properties of the Coxeter matroid polytope. We also generalise the concept of rank and signature of a quadratic form to symplectic Lagrangian matroids in a surprisingly natural way.

We prove that a finite family A of compact connected sets in R d has a hyperplane transversal if and only if for some k, 0<k<d, there exists an acyclic oriented matroid of rank k+1 on A such that every k+2 sets in A have an oriented k-transversal which meets the sets consistently with that oriented
Consider the moment curve in the real euclidean space R d defined parametrically by the map ฮณ : R โ R d , t โ ฮณ (t) = (t, t 2 , . . . , t d ). The cyclic d-polytope C d (t 1 , . . . , t n ) is the convex hull of n > d different points on this curve. The matroidal analogs are the alternating oriented
An oriented matroid lattice is a lattice arising from the span of cocircuits of an oriented matroid ordered by conformal relation. One important subclass of the o.m. lattices is the polars of face lattices of zonotopes. In this paper we show that every o.m. lattice is a (combinatorial) manifold. Thi
In this paper we introduce polynomials associated with uniform oriented matroids whose coefficients enumerate cells in the corresponding arrangements. These polynomials are quite useful in the study of many enumeration problems of combinatorial geometry, such as counting faces of polytopes, counting
