The pyramid conjecture for Gorenstein polytopes of degree d

Let PP be an nn-dimensional Gorenstein polytope of degree dd. A polytope is a pyramid if it is the lattice pyramid over another lattice polytope. Pyramid conjecture. Every 3d3d-dimensional Gorenstein polytope PP of degree dd is a pyramid. Moreover, up to isomorphism, there exists a unique (3d1)(3d-1)-dimensional Gorenstein polytope Θd\Theta_d of degree dd that is not a pyramid. The classification verifies this conjecture when d=2d=2, but it remains open for d3d\geq 3.
