Skew partial-field Kinser-inequality conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let P=(R,G)\mathbb{P}=(R,G) be a skew partial field, and let MM be a matroid that is P\mathbb{P}-representable, meaning that it arises from a P\mathbb{P}-chain group as in the source. A Kinser inequality is the rank inequality indexed by an integer n≥4n\geq 4. Skew partial-field Kinser-inequality conjecture. If MM is P\mathbb{P}-representable, then MM satisfies every Kinser inequality.

The claim would extend the known fact that ordinary representable matroids satisfy all Kinser inequalities to matroids representable over skew partial fields. The source gives no resolution.
