The lattice Cayley polytope conjecture

Let P\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P}} be a lattice dd-polytope, and let deg\mathbbmZ(P)\operatorname{deg}_{\mathbbm{Z}}(\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P}}) denote its lattice degree. A lattice Cayley polytope is a lattice polytope admitting a Cayley structure, with a specified length.

Lattice Cayley polytope conjecture. If

d>2deg\mathbbmZ(P),d>2\operatorname{deg}_{\mathbbm{Z}}(\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P}}),

then P\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P}} is a lattice Cayley polytope of length

d+12deg\mathbbmZ(P).d+1-2\operatorname{deg}_{\mathbbm{Z}}(\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P}}).

The claim is attributed in the source to Di Rocco, Haase, Nill, and Paffenholz and to Dickenstein and Nill; it is the lattice-polytope analogue motivating the combinatorial conjectures.
