Algebraic matroid basis conjecture for Grassmannians and coherent matching fields
Let be the Grassmannian, and let be its algebraic matroid. For a coherent matching field , let be the algebraic matroid realised by the linear span of the relevant Gröbner-fan cone. Algebraic matroid basis conjecture. Every basis of the algebraic matroid of the Grassmannian is a basis of for some coherent matching field , i.e.,
The inclusion from each matching-field matroid into the Grassmannian matroid is known; the conjecture asserts the reverse inclusion. It is motivated by computations in all small examples considered, while non-matching-field cones of the tropical Grassmannian show that the claim is not immediate.
