Hilbert-Poincaré Series of Matroid Chow Rings and Intersection Cohomology

Abstract. We study the Hilbert-Poincaré series of three algebraic objects arising in the Chow-theoretic and Kazhdan-Lusztig framework of matroids. These are, respectively, the Hilbert-Poincaré series of the Chow ring, the augmented Chow ring, and the intersection cohomology module. We develop and highlight an explicit parallelism between the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid and the Hilbert-Poincaré series of its Chow ring that extends naturally to the Hilbert-Poincaré series of both the intersection cohomology module and the augmented Chow ring.
