What is Coxeter Matroids (Progress in Mathematics, 216) about?

Matroids appear in diverse areas of mathematics, from combinatorics to algebraic topology and geometry. This largely self-contained text provides an intuitive and interdisciplinary treatment of Coxeter matroids, a new and beautiful generalization of matroids which is based on a finite Coxeter group. Key topics and features: \* Systematic, clearly written exposition with ample references to current research \* Matroids are examined in terms of symmetric and finite reflection groups \* Finite reflection groups and Coxeter groups are developed from scratch \* The Gelfand-Serganova theorem is presented, allowing for a geometric interpretation of matroids and Coxeter matroids as convex polytopes with certain symmetry properties \* Matroid representations in buildings and combinatorial flag varieties are studied in the final chapter \* Many exercises throughout \* Excellent bibliography and index Accessible to graduate students and research mathematicians alike, "Coxeter Matroids" can be used as an introductory survey, a graduate course text, or a reference volume.
