We find an explicit presentation of the annihilator ideal of I or, equivalently, the E-module dual to A. As an application of that we provide a necessary, combinatorial condition for the algebra A to be quadratic. We show that this is stronger than matroid being line-closed thereby resolving (negatively) a conjecture by Falk. We also show that our condition is not sufficient for the quadraticity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-10-17T22:10:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52C35", "05B35", "16E05" ], "keywords": [ "exterior algebra", "combinatorial condition", "orlik-solomon algebra", "e-module dual", "annihilator ideal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math.....10168D" } } }
