The skew-Hermitian plus rank-one Hermitian principal-minor conjecture
The skew-Hermitian plus rank-one Hermitian principal-minor conjecture
Let be a valued field with an automorphic involution preserving the valuation. Let , where is skew-Hermitian and is Hermitian of rank one. The principal-minor valuations of are the function assigning to each the valuation of the principal minor indexed by . Skew-Hermitian plus rank-one Hermitian conjecture. The valuations of the principal minors of form a valuated -matroid. This would extend the corresponding result for symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices and the proved skew-symmetric plus rank-one symmetric case to valued fields with involution; it is stated as open in the source.
