We present a simple proof of the fact that the base (and independence) polytope of a rank $n$ regular matroid over $m$ elements has an extension complexity $O(mn)$.
We construct parameterized families of imaginary (resp. real) quadratic fields whose class groups have $n$-rank at least $2$.
The necessary and suffcient condition for a set of matrices to commute is given and proven.
We study realization spaces of matroids over hyperfields (in the sense of Baker and Bowler). More precisely, given a matroid M and a hyperfield H we determine the space of all H-matroids over M. This can be seen as the matroid stratum of…
For a set of matroids $\mathcal{M}$, let $ex_\mathcal{M}(n)$ be the maximum size of a simple rank-$n$ matroid in $\mathcal{M}$. We prove that, for any finite field $\mathbb{F}$, if $\mathcal{M}$ is a minor-closed class of…
A fundamental question in parallel computation, posed by Karp, Upfal, and Wigderson (FOCS 1985, JCSS 1988), asks: \emph{given only independence-oracle access to a matroid on $n$ elements, how many rounds are required to find a basis using…
A flat of a matroid is cyclic if it is a union of circuits. The cyclic flats of a matroid form a lattice under inclusion. We study these lattices and explore matroids from the perspective of cyclic flats. In particular, we show that every…
Las Vergnas and Hamidoune studied the number of circuits needed to determine an oriented matroid. In this paper we investigate this problem and some new variants, as well as their interpretation in particular classes of matroids. We present…
In this paper, we consider dynamic matroids, where elements can be inserted to or deleted from the ground set over time. The independent sets change to reflect the current ground set. As matroids are central to the study of many…
The Alexander dual of an arbitrary meet-semilattice is described explicitly. Meet-distributive meet-semilattices whose Alexander dual is level are characterized.
The cycles of a graph give a natural cyclic ordering to their edge-sets, and these orderings are consistent in that two edges are adjacent in one cycle if and only if they are adjacent in every cycle in which they appear together. An…
Frame matroids and lifted-graphic matroids are two interesting generalizations of graphic matroids. Here we introduce a new generalization, {\em quasi-graphic matroids}, that unifies these two existing classes. Unlike frame matroids and…
In this paper we give new requirements that a tree of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces has to satisfy in order to be $\delta$-hyperbolic itself. As an application, we give a simple proof that limit groups are relatively hyperbolic.
This paper studies the properties of two kinds of matroids: (a) algebraic matroids and (b) finite and infinite matroids whose ground set have some canonical symmetry, for example row and column symmetry and transposition symmetry. For (a)…
A flat of a matroid is cyclic if it is a union of circuits; such flats form a lattice under inclusion and, up to isomorphism, all lattices can be obtained this way. A lattice is a Tr-lattice if all matroids whose lattices of cyclic flats…
Matroids are often represented as oracles since there are no unified and compact representations for general matroids. This paper initiates the study of binary decision diagrams (BDDs) and zero-suppressed binary decision diagrams (ZDDs) as…
We study the maximal number of pairwise distinct columns in a $\Delta$-modular integer matrix with $m$ rows. Recent results by Lee et al. provide an asymptotically tight upper bound of $O(m^2)$ for fixed $\Delta$. We complement this and…
For each proper minor-closed subclass $\cM$ of the $\GF(q^2)$-representable matroids containing all simple $\GF(q)$-representable matroids, we give, for all large $r$, a tight upper bound on the number of points in a rank-$r$ matroid in…
We present in this paper a routine which construct the ideal generated by a list of elements in a matrix Lie algebra at any particular characteristic. We have used this algorithm to analyze the problem of the simplicity of some Lie…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between geometric lattices and the intersection lattices of arrangements of homotopy spheres. When the arrangements are essential and fully partitioned, Zaslavsky's enumeration of the cells of the…
