K-theoretic positivity for wonderful varieties and matroids

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Wonderful varieties are certain smooth projective varieties constructed from linear subspaces of a coordinated vector space. We establish a positivity property for Grothendieck rings of vector bundles of wonderful varieties. The Grothendieck ring of vector bundles of a wonderful variety depends only on the matroid represented by the linear subspace. We define a combinatorial analogue of the Grothendieck ring of vector bundles for any matroid, and we show that it has properties resembling the Grothendieck ring of a smooth projective variety. We prove the positivity property for any, not necessarily realizable, matroid.
