Kinser class non-duality conjecture

At least 11 years old · documented by

For each integer n>5n>5, let Kn\mathcal{K}_n be the class of matroids satisfying the nn-th Kinser inequality, and let Kn∗\mathcal{K}_n^* denote its dual class. Kinser class non-duality conjecture.

Kn≠Kn∗.\mathcal{K}_n\neq\mathcal{K}_n^*.

This asserts that, beyond the fifth Kinser class, the class defined by the nn-th Kinser inequality is not closed under duality. The source gives no resolution.
