Matroids are combinatorial abstractions of linear independence in vector spaces. One aspect of this project concerns the interplay of matroids and algebra in the context of free hyperplane arrangements. The concept of a matroid has been extended to that of a Coxeter matroid and, recently, to that of a q-analogue of a matroid. Another aspect of the project concerns coding theoretic representations of q-analogues of matroids on the one hand and the definition and investigation of a notion of a q-analogue of a Coxeter matroid on the other hand.
