Combinatorial-geometric facet equality conjecture for Grassmann polytopes

About 11 years old · traced to

Let PP be a Grassmann polytope, let FF be its global combinatorial facet, and let Z(F)≥0Z(F)_{\geq 0} be the union of the Grassmann polytopes indexed by FF. Let Z(F)Z(F) be its Zariski closure, and let P∩Z(F)P\cap Z(F) be the corresponding global geometric facet.

Facet equality conjecture.

Z(F)≥0=P∩Z(F),Z(F)_{\geq 0}=P\cap Z(F),

so that combinatorial and geometric facets agree.

The claim would identify the combinatorial union of cells with the geometric facet cut out by its Zariski closure.
