Oct 17, 2019 at 8:04 comment added Dattier Yes, I must find the condition (ii) not too stronger, for have theorem 2 and the examples true.

Oct 16, 2019 at 20:39 comment added Alex Kruckman Responding to your new edit: I'm confused - doesn't every structure with a dimension have a good dimension? After all, if $F\subseteq E$ and $\dim(F) = n$, then the largest free subset $X\subseteq F$ has cardinality $n$, and also $X\subseteq E$, so the largest free subset of $E$ has cardinality at least $n$, and hence $\dim(F) \leq \dim(E)$. Right?

Jan 14, 2019 at 10:26 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Wikipedia has some information about infinite matroids.
Jan 14, 2019 at 10:05 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @Vincent E. g. the set of subspaces of a vector space.

Jan 14, 2019 at 9:53 comment added Vincent I was wondering about something that sounds a bit like Andreas question above: is there an easy example where the set $\mathcal{T}$ is not the set of closed sets of some topology?
Jan 14, 2019 at 9:49 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Is not the linear-algebra tag irrelevant here?

Jan 14, 2019 at 2:00 comment added Dattier We can working in dimension infinite, without change the theory, it's not the case of matroïds.
Jan 14, 2019 at 1:43 comment added j.c. Note that what you call a "structure" is also known as a "Moore family": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_operator
Jan 14, 2019 at 1:38 comment added Andreas Blass It seems that a matroid gives rise to a structure with a dimension, by taking $\mathcal T$ to consist of the closed sets (the flats) of the matroid. In particular, your notion of "having a dimension" seems to correspond to the exchange property of matroids. Is that correct? Do you have examples of structures with dimension that don't come from matroids in this way?

Jan 14, 2019 at 0:54 comment added Noah Schweber (Also, it seems that the actually important object here is the closure operator $cl_S: U\mapsto\langle U\rangle_S$; just talking about the pair $(X, cl_S)$ seems much easier than talking about $(X,\mathcal{T})$, and also makes the relationship with matroids etc. clearer.)
Jan 14, 2019 at 0:53 comment added Noah Schweber But it has nothing to do with any of the questions you mention, as far as I can tell, so why bring it up? (Also, should "$\mathcal{U}$" be "$\mathcal{T}$"?)
Jan 14, 2019 at 0:50 comment added Noah Schweber As far as I can tell, $O_\mathcal{T}$ plays no role here; why introduce it?
