The limiting density conjecture for rays of random toric surfaces

Let SkS_{\geq k} be the subset of rays of the complete fan associated with the smooth case whose corresponding exceptional divisors have appropriate negative self-intersection number, and let Σh(1)\Sigma_h(1) denote the set of rays of the fan Σh\Sigma_h. For nn, let TnT_n be the nn-th triangular number:

Tn=n2+n2.T_n=\frac{n^2+n}{2}.

The limiting density conjecture. For k>1k>1,

limhSkΣh(1)=2Tk.\lim_{h\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left|S_{\geq k}\right|}{\left|\Sigma_h(1)\right|}=\frac{2}{T_k}.

This conjecture refines the bounds obtained for the density of rays in the complete fan arising in the smooth case. Numerical data support the proposed limiting values, and the result would in particular imply that both SkS_{\geq k} and the set SkS_k of rays with the corresponding exact index have positive density.
