We expand this theory while resolving the complexity issue expected by Mnev's universality theorem. In particular, we invent a combinatorial apparatus for the geometry of hyperplane arrangements in terms of semilattices and their operations, for instance, puzzle-pieces and the matroidal MMP. We also investigate matroid tilings and their extensions. As an algebro-geometric application, we answer Alexeev's question.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-28T12:10:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B35", "05B30", "05E99", "06A11", "06A12", "14A10", "14E15", "14E30", "14M15", "14N10", "14N20", "14T05", "52B05", "52B20", "52B40", "52B55", "52C07", "52C22", "52C35", "52C45" ], "keywords": [ "hyperplane arrangements", "answer alexeevs question", "mnevs universality theorem", "convex polytopes", "algebro-geometric application" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
