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. In this talk I will give an introduction to discrete polymatroids and White's conjecture. We will look at cases where the conjecture has been proved, and consider some related problems.
