The toric Harder–Narasimhan subdivision conjecture

Let (P,dσ)(P,d\sigma) be the moment polytope of a polarised toric variety with canonical boundary measure dσd\sigma. A pair (Q,dσ)(Q,d\sigma) is semistable when LA(f)0\mathcal{L}_A(f)\geq 0 for every convex function ff, where AA is the unique affine-linear function satisfying LA(f)=0\mathcal{L}_A(f)=0 for all affine-linear ff. Toric Harder–Narasimhan subdivision conjecture. If (P,dσ)(P,d\sigma) is not semistable, then it has a subdivision into finitely many polytopes QiQ_i such that, for the restriction dσid\sigma_i of dσd\sigma to the faces of QiQ_i, every (Qi,dσi)(Q_i,d\sigma_i) is semistable. This is the proposed decomposition of an unstable toric variety into semistable pieces; the source presents it as a goal and gives no evidence of resolution.
