Inhaltsangabe:
- The Sylvester-Gallai Theorem states that every rank-$3$ real-representable matroid has a two-point line. We prove that, for each $k\ge 2$, every complex-representable matroid with rank at least $4^{k-1}$ has a rank-$k$ flat with exactly $k$ points. For $k=2$, this is a well-known result due to Kelly, which we use in our proof. A similar result was proved earlier by Barak, Dvir, Wigderson, and Yehudayoff and later refined by Dvir, Saraf, and Wigderson, but we get slightly better bounds with a more elementary proof.
