Unique maximality conjecture for matroids avoiding dual symmetric-tensor circuits
Unique maximality conjecture for matroids avoiding dual symmetric-tensor circuits
Let be non-negative integers with , and define
An -matroid on is a matroid in the family whose specified circuits are the complete bipartite graphs in .
Unique maximality conjecture. There is a unique maximal -matroid on .
The preceding discussion says that the analogous family defined only by is not uniquely maximal when , motivating this conjecture; no resolution of the -matroid conjecture is supplied.
