Bernstein's conjecture on algebraic matroids of Hadamard products

From papers

Let L1,,LdCmL_1, \ldots, L_d \subset \mathbb{C}^m be linear spaces not contained in any coordinate hyperplane, and let r1,,rdr_1, \ldots, r_d be the rank functions of the corresponding linear matroids. Bernstein's conjecture. The algebraic matroid of the Hadamard product L1LdL_1 * \cdots * L_d is the matroid induced by the monotone submodular function r1++rd(d1)r_1 + \cdots + r_d - (d-1). This conjectures the natural dd-factor generalisation of Bernstein's theorem for two Hadamard factors; the two-factor case is known, while the general case is presented here as an open problem.
