Abstract
In this paper we develop the theory of cyclic flats of q-matroids. We show that the cyclic flats, together with their ranks, uniquely determine a q-matroid and hence derive a new q-cryptomorphism. We introduce the notion of \(\mathbb {F}_{q^m}\)-independence of an \(\mathbb {F}_q\)-subspace of \(\mathbb {F}_q^n\) and we show that q-matroids generalize this concept, in the same way that matroids generalize the notion of linear independence of vectors over a given field.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
