Algebraic matroid basis conjecture for Grassmannians and coherent matching fields
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.
