โฆ Synopsis
Let M and N be ternary matroids having the same rank and the same ground set, and assume that every independent set in N is also independent in M. The main result of this paper proves that if M is 3-connected and N is connected and non-binary, then M = N . A related result characterizes precisely when a matroid that is obtained by relaxing a circuit-hyperplane of a ternary matroid is also ternary.

Let F be a field and let N be a matroid in a class N N of F-representable matroids that is closed under minors and the taking of duals. Then N is an F-stabilizer for N N if every representation of a 3-connected member of N N is determined up to elementary row operations and column scaling by a repre
A matroid or oriented matroid is dyadic if it has a rational representation with all nonzero subdeterminants in [ \2 k : k # Z]. Our main theorem is that an oriented matroid is dyadic if and only if the underlying matroid is ternary. A consequence of our theorem is the recent result of G. Whittle th
The concept of valuated matroids was introduced by Dress and Wenzel as a quantitative extension of the base exchange axiom for matroids. This paper gives several sets of cryptomorphically equivalent axioms of valuated matroids in terms of R โช -โ -valued vectors defined on the circuits of the underly
Let K be a connected and undirected graph, and M be the polygon matroid of K . Assume that, for some k 2 1, the matroid M is kseparable and k-connected according to the matroid separability and connectivity definitions of W. T. Tutte. In this paper we classify the matroid kseparations of M in terms
