Computing the Tutte Polynomial of a Matroid from its Lattice of Cyclic   Flats
  We show how the Tutte polynomial of a matroid $M$ can be computed from its condensed configuration, which is a statistic of its lattice of cyclic flats. The results imply that the Tutte polynomial of $M$ is already determined by the abstract lattice of its cyclic flats together with their cardinalities and ranks. They furthermore generalize a similiar statement for perfect matroid designs due to Mphako and help to understand families of matroids with identical Tutte polynomial as constructed by Ken Shoda.
