Möbius support conjecture for base polymatroids

From papers

Given a polymatroid PNp\mathscr{P}\subset\mathbb{N}^p, let P\mathscr{P}_{\leq} and the poset Γ=Γ(P)\Gamma=\Gamma(\mathscr{P}) be defined as in the source, with largest element 1^\hat{1} and smallest element 0^\hat{0}. Define the Möbius support by

μ-supp(P)={uPμΓ(u,1^)0}.\mu\text{-supp}(\mathscr{P})=\left\{\mathbf{u}\in\mathscr{P}_{\leq}\mid \mu_{\Gamma}(\mathbf{u},\hat{1})\neq0\right\}.

Möbius support conjecture. For any base polymatroid P\mathscr{P}, the Möbius support μ-supp(P)\mu\text{-supp}(\mathscr{P}) is a generalized polymatroid. The theorem preceding this conjecture proves the assertion for linear polymatroids; the conjecture proposes the extension to all polymatroids.
