The rank-+1 hypergraph conjecture for quantum entropy inequalities

From papers

Let an nn-party inequality of the form defined in the source be given, and let an mm-graph be a hypergraph whose edges have size at most mm. The inequality contracts on a class of hypergraphs if its contraction map sends every hypergraph in that class to a hypergraph satisfying the inequality.

Rank-n+1n+1 hypergraph conjecture. If an nn-party inequality contracts on (n+1)(n+1)-graphs, then it is a valid inequality on all hypergraphs of finite rank.

This conjecture formalizes the expectation that, after including the purifier, no entanglement structure involving more than n+1n+1 indivisible subsystems contributes new information to an nn-party entropy inequality. Its status is not determined by the supplied text.
