Duality pairing conjecture for better-behaved GKZ systems

Let CC be a rational polyhedral cone in a lattice NN, let CC^\circ denote the associated dual data, and let bbGKZ(C,0)bbGKZ(C,0) and bbGKZ(C,0)bbGKZ(C^\circ,0) be the corresponding better-behaved GKZ systems. Let (Φc)(\Phi_c) and (Ψd)(\Psi_d) be solutions of these systems, indexed by cCc\in C and dCd\in C^\circ, respectively. Duality pairing conjecture. There exists a collection of polynomials pc,d(x1,,xn)p_{c,d}(x_1,\ldots,x_n), indexed by cCc\in C and dCd\in C^\circ, such that all but finitely many are zero; for every pair of solutions (Φc)(\Phi_c) and (Ψd)(\Psi_d), the sum

c,dpc,dΦcΨd\sum_{c,d}p_{c,d}\Phi_c\Psi_d

is constant as a function of (x1,,xn)(x_1,\ldots,x_n); the resulting pairing is non-degenerate; and for every projective simplicial subdivision Σ\Sigma, it is the inverse of the Euler-characteristics pairing between K0(PΣ)K_0(\mathbb{P}_{\Sigma}) and K0c(PΣ)K^c_0(\mathbb{P}_{\Sigma}) under the Γ\Gamma and Γ\Gamma^\circ series. This conjecture proposes a specific duality mechanism between the two better-behaved GKZ systems, motivated by prior expectations that these systems are dual; its validity was described as plausible but unsettled.
