Minors of asymptotically almost all sparse paving matroids

Combinatorics 2016-05-10 v1

Abstract

We use counting arguments to show that asymptotically almost all sparse paving matroids contain an HH-minor, where HH falls into one of several simple classes of matroids. Furthermore the result holds for all HH in a larger class of matroids, if we restrict to asymptotically almost all sparse paving matroids of fixed rank rr (where rr is necessarily no smaller than the rank of HH).
