Title: Almost all matroids are non-representable
Speaker: | Peter Nelson |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract: I will prove a recent result giving an upper bound on the number of representable matroids, implying that these matroids are vanishingly rare among all matroids. I will also discuss consequences, related conjectures, and work towards establishing a matching lower bound.
