A basis exchange property for matroids
Abstract:
Rota conjectured that the set of elements from n disjoint bases of a rank-$n$ matroid $M$ can be repartitioned into $n$ disjoint transversal sets that are also bases of $M$. We present a stronger result for the class of paving matroids, and explain why the techniques used in the proof fail when trying to prove the conjecture directly. [video]
