Excluding a planar graph from GF(q)-representable matroids
Abstract. We prove that a binary matroid with huge branchwidth contains the cycle matroid of a large grid as a minor. This implies that an infinite antichain of binary matroids ca...

Branch-width, parse trees, and monadic second-order logic for matroids
Abstract. We introduce "matroid parse trees" which, using only a limited amount of information at each node, can build up the vector representations of matroids of bounde...

Matroid tree-width
Abstract. We show that the tree-width of a graph can be defined without reference to graph vertices, and hence the notion of tree-width can be naturally extended to matroids. (This...
