Conjecture on nonvanishing determinant conditions for lattice codes

Let nmn\geq m, let L\mathcal{L} be a 2mn2mn-dimensional lattice in Mn(C)M_n(\mathbb{C}), and suppose that

Δm(L)0.\Delta_m(\mathcal{L})\neq 0.

Here Δm(L)\Delta_m(\mathcal{L}) denotes the infimum of the products of the smallest mm singular values of nonzero elements of L\mathcal{L}. Nonvanishing determinant condition conjecture. The conditions of Corollary can be satisfied only when either m=nm=n or when n=2n=2 and m=1m=1. This concerns when a 2mn2mn-dimensional lattice code in Mn(C)M_n(\mathbb{C}) can satisfy the nonvanishing product-of-singular-values condition required for approximate universality with mm receive antennas. The claim is presented as conjectural, and no resolution is given in the source.
