In this talk, we will start from linear spaces and introduce different kinds of matroids, not only in the realm of normal matroids, but oriented matroids, valuated matroids and so on. We then generalize the notion of all these matroids, reaching the objects called matroids over hyperfields, which, once defined, facilitate the creation of more matroids. In general, you will learn how to build that matroid you want.
Refreshments will be served in the lounge at 4:00 PM.
