Abstract

In the first part of this thesis we present the proofs of the path theorem and Tutte homotopy theorem concerning sequences of hyperplanes in a matroid. In the second part, we show the reformulations of the theorems in terms of homology groups of order complexes, following [2]. We find a replacement for the sublattice of the fourth class for the Tutte homotopy theorem and give a reformulation of the theorem. Using a computer program that we create, we find some necessary sublattices for the hypothetical second homology theorem to hold. We discuss how a second homology theorem might look like and we provide some tools that could be used in its proof.
