Hyperdeterminantal module generation conjecture for the symmetric principal-minor ideal

Let PnP_n be the prime ideal of the algebraic variety that is the image of the principal-minor map for complex symmetric n×nn\times n-matrices. Let the hyperdeterminantal module be the orbit of the 2×2×22\times2\times2 hyperdeterminant under the action of the relevant group GG and the symmetric group SnS_n. The hyperdeterminantal module generation conjecture says that PnP_n is generated by the hyperdeterminantal module. This is a representation-theoretic strengthening of the converse problem for hyperdeterminantal relations: the paper presents it as a natural conjecture after resolving the stated symmetric principal-minor assignment problem, but does not provide a resolution of this ideal-generation claim.
