Abstract

We prove that the simplicial complex Ω n of chains of matroids (with respect to the ordering by the quotient relation) on n elements is shellable. This follows from a more general result on shellability of the simplicial complex of W -matroids for an arbitrary finite Coxeter group W , and generalises the well-known results by Solomon--Tits and Bjorner on spherical buildings.
