Castillo–Cid-Ruiz–Mohammadi–Montaño conjecture on Möbius supports

Let P\mathscr{P} be a polymatroid on [p][p], let I(P)I(\mathscr{P}) be its independence polytope, and let μP:ZpZ\mu_\mathscr{P}:\mathbb{Z}^p\to\mathbb{Z} be its Möbius function. Define the Möbius support by

μ-supp(P)={nNpμP(n)0}.\mu\text{-supp}(\mathscr{P})=\{\mathbf{n}\in\mathbb{N}^p\mid \mu_\mathscr{P}(\mathbf{n})\neq 0\}.

Castillo–Cid-Ruiz–Mohammadi–Montaño conjecture. The Möbius support of P\mathscr{P} is a generalized polymatroid, that is, a homogenization of it yields a polymatroid. The paper settles this conjecture, so the asserted property is known in general.
