Title: On Donuts and Quasigraphic matroids

Abstract:

Quasigraphic matroids are graph-like objects that give a common generalization of lift and frame matroids. Donuts are edible topological surfaces. I will talk about a surprising link between these two types of object, assuming no prior knowledge of quasigraphic matroids or donuts.
