Uniform generation conjecture for minors of finite abelian p-groups

Let A\mathbf{A} be a finite abelian pp-group, and let R\mathbf{R} be a ring, considered as a regular R\mathbf{R}-module, such that pp is invertible in R\mathbf{R}. Let OA,R\mathcal O_{\mathbf{A},\mathbf{R}} denote the set of operations from A\mathbf{A} to R\mathbf{R}, and let an (A,R)(\mathbf{A},\mathbf{R})-minor be an operation obtained by the corresponding minor construction.

Uniform generation conjecture. There is a kNk\in\mathbb{N} such that OA,R\mathcal O_{\mathbf{A},\mathbf{R}} is uniformly generated by kk-ary (A,R)(\mathbf{A},\mathbf{R})-minors.

The conjecture proposes the uniform-generation property needed to extend the paper's method beyond the cases already proved, including the finite-vector-space to coprime-module setting. Its general validity is left open.
