Unique smooth minimum-degree toric surface of maximal Picard rank in an m×m box

Fix mZ>0m\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}. Consider toric surfaces SS with ample anticanonical divisor KS-K_S, without imposing conditions on their singularities, such that the anticanonical polygon of monomials in H0(S,KS)H^0(S,-K_S) lies in an m×mm\times m box. Among these surfaces, consider those with maximum Picard rank. The unique smooth minimum-degree surface conjecture. Among the surfaces of maximum Picard rank, there is a unique surface SS that is smooth and has minimum anticanonical degree. This statement is reported to hold for box sizes up to seven based on the classification; the conjecture proposes it for every positive integer mm.
