Abstract
A connected matroid M is unbreakable if, for each of its flats F, the matroid M/F is connected or, equivalently, if M*has no two skew circuits. Pfeil showed that a simple graphic matroid M(G) is unbreakable exactly when M(G) is either a cycle or a complete graph. We extend this result to describe which graphs are the underlying graphs of unbreakable frame matroids.
