Combinatorial tropical gonality conjecture for lattice polygons

From papers

Let ΔR2\Delta\subset\mathbb{R}^2 be a two-dimensional lattice polygon, and let Δ(1)\Delta^{(1)} denote the convex hull of the interior lattice points of Δ\Delta. Write lw(Δ(1))\operatorname{lw}(\Delta^{(1)}) for its lattice width, let Υ=Conv{(1,1),(1,0),(0,1)}\Upsilon=\operatorname{Conv}\{(-1,-1),(1,0),(0,1)\}, and let Γ(Δ1,,Δr)\Gamma(\Delta_1,\ldots,\Delta_r) be the metric graph associated with a regular subdivision Δ1,,Δr\Delta_1,\ldots,\Delta_r of Δ\Delta. Combinatorial tropical gonality conjecture. There exists a regular subdivision Δ1,,Δr\Delta_1,\ldots,\Delta_r of Δ\Delta such that the gonality of Γ(Δ1,,Δr)\Gamma(\Delta_1,\ldots,\Delta_r) equals lw(Δ(1))+2\operatorname{lw}(\Delta^{(1)})+2 if Δ≇2Υ\Delta\not\cong 2\Upsilon, and equals 33 if Δ2Υ\Delta\cong 2\Upsilon. This combines the generic-gonality and lower-bound conjectures into a purely combinatorial statement; it is not established in general.
