Speaker: Jaeho Shin, KIAS

Place: Phillips 736

Abstract: We show Kantor's conjecture (1974) holds in rank 4. This proves both the sticky matroid conjecture of Poljak and Turzík (1982) and the whole Kantor's conjecture, due to an argument of Bachem, Kern, and Bonin, and an equivalence argument of Hochstättler and Wilhelmi, respectively.
