Polyhedral eigenvalue conjecture for regular matroid representations

Let M\mathcal{M} be a regular matroid and let MM be a unimodular m×nm \times n representation of M\mathcal{M} with corank greater than 11. Let LL denote the associated matrix whose nonzero eigenvalues are under consideration. Polyhedral eigenvalue conjecture. There is an m×mm \times m matrix Λ\Lambda with full rank such that every nonzero eigenvalue of LL is an eigenvalue of Λ\Lambda, and every other eigenvalue of Λ\Lambda depends only on the ambient dimension mm. The conjecture proposes an extension of the preceding corank-one construction to unimodular representations of regular matroids of arbitrary corank; no proof is given in the source.
