CMS₀ non-definability conjecture for infinite-group gain-graphic matroids

Let HH be an infinite group. Let CMS0{\mathit{CMS}_{0}} denote counting monadic second-order logic over matroids without quantification over edge sets. Non-definability conjecture. The class of HH-gain-graphic matroids cannot be characterised with a sentence in CMS0{\mathit{CMS}_{0}}. The paper notes that existing techniques settle this when HH contains elements of arbitrarily high order; the remaining open case is that of infinite groups with finite exponent.
