Title
Excluding a planar graph from GF(q)-representable matroids
Abstract
We prove that a binary matroid with huge branch-width contains the cycle matroid of a large grid as a minor. This implies that an infinite antichain of binary matroids cannot contain the cycle matroid of a planar graph. The result also holds for any other finite field.
