A common recursion for Laplacians of matroids and shifted simplicial complexes
A recursion due to Kook expresses the Laplacian eigenvalues of a matroid M in terms of the eigenvalues of its deletion M-e and contraction M/e by a fixed element e , and an error term. We show that this error term is given simply by the Laplacian eigenvalues of the …
