On the Highly Connected Dyadic, Near-Regular, and Sixth-Root-of-Unity Matroids
Ben Clark, Kevin Grace, James Oxley +1
Subject to announced results by Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle, we completely characterize the highly connected members of the classes of dyadic, near-regular, and sixth-root-of-unit…
Relaxations of GF-representable matroids
Ben Clark, James Oxley, Stefan H. M. van Zwam
We consider the GF-representable matroids with a circuit-hyperplane such that the matroid obtained by relaxing the circuit-hyperplane is also GF-representable. We charact…
Displaying tangles and non-sequential separations
Ben Clark
We show that, for any graph or matroid, there is a tree that simultaneously distinguishes its maximal tangles, and, for each maximal tangle that satisfies an addition…
Excluded minors are almost fragile
Nick Brettell, Ben Clark, James Oxley +2
Let be an excluded minor for the class of -representable matroids for some partial field , and let be a -connected strong -stabilizer…
The structure of -fragile matroids
Ben Clark, Dillon Mayhew, Stefan van Zwam +1
Let be a set of matroids. A matroid is strictly -fragile if has a member of as minor and, for all , at least one of $M\…
