Abstract

The focus of this workshop was on the ongoing interaction between geometric aspects of matroid theory with various directions in the study of hyperplane arrangements. A hyperplane arrangement is exactly a linear realization of a (loop-free, simple) matroid. While a matroid is a purely combinatorial object, though, an arrangement is associated with a range of algebraic and geometric constructions that connect closely with the combinatorics of matroids.
The meeting brought together researchers involved with complementary angles on the subject, many of whom had not met before, so an important underlying objective was to make introductions between groups with overlapping interests in order to facilitate new collaborations and advances in the subject.
