The analogous question fo r matroids is just as\nwell-motivated\, but seems harder to answer. I will discuss some recent\nprogress in this area\, which reduces a bound from d oubly exponential\nto singly exponential. This is joint work with Sergey N orin and\nFernanda Rivera Omana.\n DTSTAMP:20250706T091554Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
