Title: Claw-free matroids
| Speaker: | Peter Nelson |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract: A simple binary matroid is claw-free if it has no independent rank-3 flat. I will discuss a structure theorem, obtained jointly with Kazuhiro Nomoto, that classifies these objects exactly.
