With Bert Gerards and Geoff Whittle we have a structural
characterization of the matroids in any minor-closed class over any given
finite field. The structural description is qualitative in that not all of the matroids with the prescribed structure need be in the class. However, for sufficiently connected matroids, we can give a precise structural characterization. In this talk I will describe that characterization as well as a number of potential applications.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
