The homotopy type of the matroid Grassmannian

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2002. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 37-38). === In this thesis, I establish a homotopy equivalence between the matroid Grassmannian [parallel] MacP(k, n) [parallel] and the real Grassmannian G(k, n) of k-plan...
