The “sticky conjecture” states that a geometric lattice is modular if and only if any two of its extensions can be “glued together”. It is known to be true as far as rank 3 geometries are concerned. In this paper we show that it is sufficient to consider a very restricted class of rank 4 geometries in order to settle the question. As a corollary we get a characterization of uniform sticky matroids, which has been found by Poljak and Turzik in 1984. |
