For an integer n 3, a rank-n matroid is called an n-spike if it consists of n three-point lines through a common point such that, for all k {1, 2, . . . , n - 1}, the union of e...
Abstract. For each finite field F of prime order there is a constant c such that every 4-connected matroid has at most c inequivalent representations over F. We had hoped that th...
