Valuativity is a set of equations that a function on matroids may satisfy, of similar flavour to (in fact more general than) having a deletion-contraction recurrence. The condition arises from the polyhedral perspective on matroids introduced by Edmonds, but turns up in several other algebraic and geometric perspectives on matroid theory, such as combinatorial Hopf algebras, and the matroid Chow rings central to June Huh’s Fields medal work. I’ll give a survey of these connections and some of my work in the area.
