Sticky matroids and convolution

László Csirmaz · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2019

Motivated by the characterization of the lattice of cyclic flats of a matroid, the convolution of a ranked lattice and a discrete measure is defined, generalizing polymatroid convolution. Using the convolution technique we prove that if a matroid has a non-principal modular cut then it is not sticky. A similar statement for matroids has been proved in [8] using different technique.
