We introduce a construction of oriented matroids from any triangulation of a product of two simplices, extending the regular case which follows from signed tropicalization. For this, we use the structure of such a triangulation in terms of polyhedral matching fields. The oriented matroid is composed of compatible chirotopes on the cells in a matroid subdivision of the hypersimplex, which might be of independent interest. We will also describe the extension to matroids over hyperfields and sketch some connections with optimization. This is joint work with Marcel Celaya and Georg Loho; Marcel Celaya will be giving a talk on the topological aspect of the work at the algebra seminar next week.
Please note the unusual time: 4pm
