Abstract

It was conjectured by White in 1980 that the toric ring associated to a matroid is defined by symmetric exchange relations. This conjecture was extended to discrete polymatroids by Herzog and Hibi, and they prove that the conjecture holds for polymatroids with the so called strong exchange property. In this paper we generalize their result to polymatroids that are products of polymatroids with the strong exchange property. This also extends a result by Conca on transversal polymatroids.
