Size functions of subgeometry-closed classes of representable combinatorial geometries
Let exq(G; n) be the maximum number of points in a rank-n geometry (simple matroid) that is representable over GF (q) and that has no restriction isomorphic to the geometry G. We find exq(G; n) for several infinite families of geometries G, and we show that if G is a binary affine geometry, then lim n→∞ ex2(G; n) 2n − 1 = 0.
متن کاملGrowth rate functions of dense classes of representable matroids
For each proper minor-closed subclassM of the GF(q)representable matroids containing all GF(q)-representable matroids, we give, for all large r, a tight upper bound on the number of points in a rank-r matroid inM, and give a rank-r matroid inM for which equality holds. As a consequence, we give a tight upper bound on the number of points in a GF(q)-representable, rank-r matroid of large rank wi...
متن کاملFunctions of the category of combinatorial geometries and strong maps
As in the case with most mathematical structures, an important question in the theory of combinatorial geometries is to develop constructions for obtaining new geometries from old ones. Several geometric constructions are well-known, e.g. deletion, contraction, truncation, direct sums, etc. . . . and are generally extensions to combinatorial geometries of existing operations on projective geome...
متن کاملStabilizers of Classes of Representable Matroids
Let M be a class of matroids representable over a field F. A matroid N # M stabilizes M if, for any 3-connected matroid M # M, an F-representation of M is uniquely determined by a representation of any one of its N-minors. One of the main theorems of this paper proves that if M is minor-closed and closed under duals, and N is 3-connected, then to show that N is a stabilizer it suffices to check...
متن کاملVarieties of Combinatorial Geometries
A hereditary class of (finite combinatorial) geometries is a collection of geometries which is closed under taking minors and direct sums. A sequence of universal models for a hereditary class 'S of geometries is a sequence (T„ ) of geometries in ?T with rank Tn = n, and satisfying the universal property: if G is a geometry in 5" of rank n, then G is a subgeometry of T„. A variety of geometries...
