Popis: A 2010 result of Amini provides a way to extract information about the structure of the graph from the geometry of the Voronoi polytope of the lattice of integer flows (which determines the graph up to two-isomorphism). Specifically, Amini shows that the face poset of the Voronoi polytope is isomorphic to the poset of strongly connected orientations of subgraphs. This answers a question raised by Caporaso and Viviani, and Amini also proves a dual result for integer cuts. In this paper we generalise Amini's result to regular matroids; in this context the theorem for integer cuts becomes a direct consequence of the theorem for integer flows, by making duality explicit as matroid duality.
