      A link between matroid theory and p-branes is discussed. The Schild type action for p-branes and matroid bundle notion provide the two central structures for such a link. We use such a connection to bring the duality concept in matroid theory to p-branes physics. Our analysis may be of particular interest in M-theory and in matroid bundle theory. The talk is based on the paper hep-th/0310071, published in Adv.Theor.Math.Phys.8:177-188,2004
