Tutte's Wheels Theorem gives an inductive way to construct simple 3-connected graphs. We give an analogous result for a weak version of k-connectivity, for arbitrary k. The result holds, more generally, for all matroids, and has applications to matroid representation theory. This is joint work with Bert Gerards, Tony Huynh, and Stefan van Zwam.

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.
