Tropical Severi irreducibility conjecture for toric surfaces
Let be a toric surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let be an effective class, and let be a non-negative integer. Let denote the Severi variety parameterizing irreducible nodal curves of genus in the linear system that do not contain the zero-dimensional orbits of . Severi irreducibility conjecture. The variety is either empty or irreducible. The conjecture predicts irreducibility of the relevant Severi varieties for toric surfaces in characteristic zero; the source recalls it as a conjecture from earlier work, while the supplied material gives no resolution.
