On Rota's Conjecture and nested separations in matroids

Combinatorics 2015-11-12 v2

Abstract

We prove that for each finite field F\mathbb F and integer kZk\in \mathbb Z there exists nZn\in \mathbb Z such that no excluded minor for the class of F\mathbb F-representable matroids has nn nested kk-separations.
