Diameter conjecture for pointihedra

About 10 years old · traced to

Let PP be a convex nn-gon with n≥13n\geq 13, and let P^{\text{\raisebox{1px}{\scalebox{0.7}{\star}}}} be the resulting polygon with a puncture placed in its interior. Write {\overline{\mathcal F}}(P^{\text{\raisebox{1px}{\scalebox{0.7}{\star}}}}) for the pointihedron flip-graph and diam{\rm diam} for graph diameter. Diameter conjecture. For some placement of the puncture in the interior of PP,

diam(F‾(P\scalebox0.7⋆))=2n−7.{\rm diam}({\overline{\mathcal F}}(P^{\text{\raisebox{1px}{\scalebox{0.7}{$\star$}}}}))=2n-7.

Earlier results in the paper give bounds on the diameter of these flip-graphs; this conjecture proposes the exact value 2n−72n-7 for a suitable placement when n≥13n\geq 13.
