The level partial-field universality conjecture
The level partial-field universality conjecture
Let be a partial field, and let be a class of matroids. Say that is -universal if, for every partial field such that every matroid in is -representable, there exists a homomorphism . A partial field is level if it is obtained as the universal partial field associated with the class of matroids representable over another partial field. Level partial-field universality conjecture. Let be the set of all -representable matroids, where is a level partial field. Then is -universal.
This conjecture asks whether every level partial field is universal for precisely the class of matroids it represents. The source presents it as an open question in the discussion of universal and level partial fields.
