We construct minimal cellular resolutions of squarefree monomial
ideals arising from hyperplane arrangements, matroids, and oriented
matroids. These are Stanley-Reisner ideals of complexes of independent
sets and of triangulations of Lawrence matroid polytopes. Our
resolution provides a cellular realization of R. Stanley's formula for
their Betti numbers. For unimodular matroids our resolutions are
related to hyperplane arrangements on tori, and we recover the
resolutions constructed by D. Bayer, S. Popescu, and B. Sturmfels
[3]. We resolve the combinatorial problems posed in [3] by computing
Möbius invariants of graphic and cographic arrangements in
terms of Hermite polynomials.
