Polyhedrality conjecture for linkage matching fields
Polyhedrality conjecture for linkage matching fields
Let a left linkage matching field be a linkage matching field with the left-side convention, and let it satisfy the compatible right submatching property when the following holds. Let be submatchings of matchings in the field on , where
with . Then
is a forest on , and each matching of size in is compatible with the matchings in the field.
Polyhedrality conjecture. A left linkage matching field is polyhedral if and only if it satisfies the compatible right submatching property.
This conjecture characterizes the linkage matching fields arising from matching ensembles, or equivalently the polyhedral ones, through an intrinsic compatibility condition on right submatchings. The source gives no resolution or status evidence beyond presenting it as a conjecture.
