In 1970, Gian-Carlo Rota posed a conjecture giving a succinct
combinatorial characterization of the linear dependencies among a finite set of vectors in a vector space over any given finite field.
I will discuss joint work with Bert Gerards and Geoff Whittle that led to a
solution.

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 Indigenous Initiatives Office.
