contents It is well-known that the first generalized Hamming weight of a linear code, more commonly called \textit{the minimum distance} of the linear code, corresponds to the initial degree of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the matroid of the dual code. Our starting point in this paper is a generalization of this fact -- namely, the $r$-th generalized Hamming weight of a matroid is the smallest degree of a squarefree monomial in the $r$-th symbolic power of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the matroid (in the appropriate range for $r$). We show that the squarefree monomials in successive symbolic powers of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a matroid suffice to describe all symbolic powers of the Stanley-Reisner ideal. Hence, we provide explicit expressions for initial degree statistics of symbolic powers of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a matroid in terms of its generalized Hamming weights. A key aspect of our approach is a careful study of duality. If the generalized Hamming weights of a matroid and its dual are both subadditive, we prove a simple expression for the initial degree of every symbolic power of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the matroid, which closely mirrors that of a uniform matroid. This has unexpectedly far-reaching consequences - we prove the generalized Hamming weights of a matroid and its dual are both subadditive for many interesting classes of matroids and codes, including sparse paving matroids, perfect matroid designs, matroids arising from Steiner systems, first-order affine and projective Reed-Muller codes, constant weight codes, Griesmer codes, and perfect codes. As an application, we study the resurgence and asymptotic resurgence of the matroid configurations introduced by Geramita-Harbourne-Migliore-Nagel. In particular, we explicitly compute the asymptotic resurgence of a matroid configuration of points arising from a perfect matroid design.
