Title: Excluding claws in binary matroids

Speaker: Kazuhiro Nomoto
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 5479

Abstract: A simple binary matroid is claw-free if no rank-3 flats are independent. We discuss an exact structure theorem for such matroids and sketch its proof. This is joint work with Peter Nelson.
