We define the ``cycle matroid'' of a graphing as a submodular setfunction, with values in [0,1], which generalizes (up to normalization) the cycle matroid of finite graphs. We prove that for a Benjamini--Schramm convergent sequence of graphs, the total rank, normalized by the number of nodes, converges to the total rank of the limit graphing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-07T10:34:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C63", "05B35" ], "keywords": [ "cycle matroid", "total rank", "benjamini-schramm convergent sequence", "graphings serve", "limit objects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
