Lattice Subdivisions and Tropical Oriented Matroids, Featuring Products of Simplices
… polytopal lattice subdivisions and tropical oriented matroid theory. The first chapter describes desirable combinatorial properties of subdivisions of lattice polytopes, and how they can be used to address algebraic questions. Chapter two discusses tropical hyperplane arrangements and the …

The topology of Baues complexes and flip graphs
… tilings of a zonotope, and the extensions of an oriented matroid. Some long-standing conjectures are resolved, including the connectedness of triangulations of a product of two simplices and the sphericity of extension spaces of realizable oriented matroids. This thesis covers the main …

Combinatorial aspects of total positivity
… thesis explore a notion of total positivity for oriented matroids. Namely, I introduce the positive Bergman complex of an oriented matroid, which is a matroidal analogue of a positive tropical variety. I prove that this object is homeomorphic to a ball, and relate it to the Las Vergnas face …
