Honda's classification conjecture for Moishezon twistor spaces on 4CPˉ24\bar{\mathbb{CP}}^2

Let ZZ be a Moishezon twistor space on 4CP24\mathbb{CP}^2, and let kk denote the parameter used to classify its fundamental cycle. A birational type space is one whose anticanonical map is birational, while a conic bundle type space is one whose anticanonical map has two-dimensional image and general fiber a rational curve. A Joyce metric is a self-dual metric in Joyce's class, and a minitwistor space is the quotient complex surface associated with a holomorphic C\mathbb{C}^*-action on the twistor space.

Honda's classification conjecture. The following assertions should hold:

  1. If ZZ is of birational type with k=6k=6, then ZZ is a twistor space of a Joyce metric; in particular, it should admit an effective C×C\mathbb{C}^*\times\mathbb{C}^*-action.
  2. If ZZ is of conic bundle type with k=4k=4, then ZZ is isomorphic to one of the twistor spaces constructed by Honda; in particular, it should admit a non-semifree C\mathbb{C}^*-action.
  3. If ZZ is of conic bundle type with k=5k=5, then it is a degenerate form of Honda's twistor spaces. In particular, it should admit a non-semifree C\mathbb{C}^*-action, and its minitwistor space with respect to this action should be isomorphic to the corresponding Honda minitwistor space.

The conjecture proposes that the remaining birational and conic-bundle cases coincide with previously constructed families of highly symmetric twistor spaces. The source presents these identifications as expected rather than established, and the parser supplies no evidence of a resolution.
