The 3-connected stabilizer conjecture for universal partial fields
The 3-connected stabilizer conjecture for universal partial fields
Let be a 3-connected matroid. A matroid is -representable when it has a representation over the universal partial field . The matroid is a -stabilizer for a class of matroids when its representations determine representations of the matroids in that class up to the relevant equivalence. 3-connected stabilizer conjecture. If is 3-connected, then is a -stabilizer for the class of -representable matroids.
The conjecture is presented as related to uniqueness of representation and as having important implications, including an immediate consequence of a theorem attributed to Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle. The source does not state that it has been resolved.
