Each point x in corresponds to an matrix which gives rise to a matroid on its columns. Gel'fand, Goresky, MacPherson, and Serganova showed that the sets form a stratification of with many beautiful properties. However, results of Mnëv and Sturmfels show that these strata can be quite complicated, and in particular may have arbitrary singularities. We study the ideals of matroid varieties, the Zariski closures of these strata. We construct several classes of examples based on theorems from projective geometry and describe how the Grassmann-Cayley algebra may be used to derive non-trivial elements of geometrically when the combinatorics of the matroid is sufficiently rich.
