    We consider a q -analogue of abstract simplicial complexes, called q -complexes, and discuss the notion of shellability for such complexes. It is shown that q -complexes formed by independent subspaces of a q -matroid are shellable. Further, we explicitly determine the homology of q -complexes corresponding to uniform q -matroids. We also outline some partial results concerning the determination of homology of arbitrary shellable q -complexes.
