Algebraic Geometry Learning Seminar: Quadratic splittings and proof outline of the main theorem
Shiyue Li
Motivate and define the notion of a quadratic splitting of a matroid. Explain how the proof of the main theorem can be broken into a geometric result and a combinatorial result. Sketch the proof of the geometric result in the simplified setting explained in the introduction.
