Hanging-elements conjecture for the combinatorial derived matroid

Let MM be a matroid with set of circuits C\mathcal{C}. For SCS\subseteq\mathcal{C}, let supp(S)\operatorname{supp}(S) be the union of the circuits in SS, and let A\mathcal{A} be the collection of dependent sets defining the combinatorial derived matroid δM\delta M. Hanging-elements conjecture. If SAS\notin\mathcal{A} and CCC\in\mathcal{C} has an element outside supp(S)\operatorname{supp}(S), then

S{C}A.S\cup\{C\}\notin\mathcal{A}.

The statement is proposed as an analogue of a known result for the Oxley–Wang derived matroid, but the paper explains that the analogous claim for A0\mathcal{A}_0 is insufficient and that new ideas are needed.
