Microtubules are an essential element of the cytoskeleton responsible for myriad functions which include cell shape, intra-cellular trafficking, cellular motility, and cellular division. The primary architects of these ...
Poset shifted matroids and graphs
(2021-07)
We generalize the notion of shiftedness in simplicial complexes, matroids, and graphs. Using this generalization, called $P$-shiftedness, we give a condition for a matroid to be transversal in terms of a poset $P$. Our ...
