The characteristic-two Hermitian plus rank-one conjecture
Assume , let be the fixed field of the involution on with , and write where for some and . Let , where are Hermitian and has rank one. Characteristic-two Hermitian plus rank-one conjecture. The valuations of the principal minors of form a valuated -matroid. In characteristic two, the preceding skew-Hermitian plus rank-one statement is already true because the matrix is Hermitian; this is the additional case proposed by the source.
