For an abelian group $Gamma$, a $Gamma$-labelled graph is a graph whose vertices are labelled by elements of $Gamma$. We prove that a certain collection of edge sets of a $Gamma$-labelled graph forms a delta-matroid, which we call a $Gamma$-graphic delta-matroid, and provide a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the separation problem, which allows us to apply the symmetric greedy algorithm of Bouchet to find a maximum weight feasible set in such a delta-matroid. We present two algorithmic applications on graphs; Maximum Weight Packing of Trees of Order Not Divisible by $k$ and Maximum Weight $S$-Tree Packing. We also discuss various properties of $Gamma$-graphic delta-matroids.

We introduce delta-graphic matroids, which are matroids whose bases form graphic delta-matroids. The class of delta-graphic matroids contains graphic matroids as well as cographic matroids and is a proper subclass of the class of regular matroids. We
give a structural characterization of the class of delta-graphic matroids. We also show that every forbidden minor for the class of delta-graphic matroids has at most $48$ elements.
The class of quasi-graphic matroids recently introduced by Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle generalises each of the classes of frame matroids and lifted-graphic matroids introduced earlier by Zaslavsky. For each biased graph $(G, mathcal B)$ Zaslavsky de
fined a unique lift matroid $L(G, mathcal B)$ and a unique frame matroid $F(G, mathcal B)$, each on ground set $E(G)$. We show that in general there may be many quasi-graphic matroids on $E(G)$ and describe them all. We provide cryptomorphic descriptions in terms of subgraphs corresponding to circuits, cocircuits, independent sets, and bases. Equipped with these descriptions, we prove some results about quasi-graphic matroids. In particular, we provide alternate proofs that do not require 3-connectivity of two results of Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle for 3-connected matroids from their introductory paper: namely, that every quasi-graphic matroid linearly representable over a field is either lifted-graphic or frame, and that if a matroid $M$ has a framework with a loop that is not a loop of $M$ then $M$ is either lifted-graphic or frame. We also provide sufficient conditions for a quasi-graphic matroid to have a unique framework. Zaslavsky has asked for those matroids whose independent sets are contained in the collection of independent sets of $F(G, mathcal B)$ while containing those of $L(G, mathcal B)$, for some biased graph $(G, mathcal B)$. Adding a natural (and necessary) non-degeneracy condition defines a class of matroids, which we call biased graphic. We show that the class of biased graphic matroids almost coincides with the class of quasi-graphic matroids: every quasi-graphic matroid is biased graphic, and if $M$ is a biased graphic matroid that is not quasi-graphic then $M$ is a 2-sum of a frame matroid with one or more lifted-graphic matroids.
Perturbed graphic matroids are binary matroids that can be obtained from a graphic matroid by adding a noise of small rank. More precisely, r-rank perturbed graphic matroid M is a binary matroid that can be represented in the form I +P, where I is th
e incidence matrix of some graph and P is a binary matrix of rank at most r. Such matroids naturally appear in a number of theoretical and applied settings. The main motivation behind our work is an attempt to understand which parameterized algorithms for various problems on graphs could be lifted to perturbed graphic matroids. We study the parameterized complexity of a natural generalization (for matroids) of the following fundamental problems on graphs: Steiner Tree and Multiway Cut. In this generalization, called the Space Cover problem, we are given a binary matroid M with a ground set E, a set of terminals Tsubseteq E, and a non-negative integer k. The task is to decide whether T can be spanned by a subset of Esetminus T of size at most k. We prove that on graphic matroid perturbations, for every fixed r, Space Cover is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k. On the other hand, the problem becomes W[1]-hard when parameterized by r+k+|T| and it is NP-complete for rleq 2 and |T|leq 2. On cographic matroids, that are the duals of graphic matroids, Space Cover generalizes another fundamental and well-studied problem, namely Multiway Cut. We show that on the duals of perturbed graphic matroids the Space Cover problem is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by r+k.
Let $M$ be a 3-connected matroid and let $mathbb F$ be a field. Let $A$ be a matrix over $mathbb F$ representing $M$ and let $(G,mathcal B)$ be a biased graph representing $M$. We characterize the relationship between $A$ and $(G,mathcal B)$, settlin
g four conjectures of Zaslavsky. We show that for each matrix representation $A$ and each biased graph representation $(G,mathcal B)$ of $M$, $A$ is projectively equivalent to a canonical matrix representation arising from $G$ as a gain graph over $mathbb F^+$ or $mathbb F^times$. Further, we show that the projective equivalence classes of matrix representations of $M$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the switching equivalence classes of gain graphs arising from $(G,mathcal B)$.
We give upper and lower bounds on the number of delta-matroids, and on the number of even delta-matroids.
