Title: Infinite matroids on lattices

Speaker: Peter Nelson
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Location: MC 5501

Abstract: There are at least two well-studied ways to extend matroids to more general objects - one can allow the ground set to be infinite, or instead define the concept of independence on a lattice other than a set lattice. I will discuss some nice ideas that arise when combining these two generalizations. This is joint work with Andrew Fulcher.
