Tropical Subrepresentations and Matroids

In their recent paper, Giansiracusa and Manaker introduced a notion of tropical subrepresentations of linear representations by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. In particular, this framework naturally brings matroids into the picture. In this talk, I will present several elementary results on tropical subrepresentations.

This is joint work with Kalina Mincheva and Jeffrey Tolliver.
