Toric pullback irreducibility conjecture for finite maps
Let be an irreducible quasiprojective variety and let be a map finite onto its image. Let denote the closure of its image.
Toric pullback irreducibility conjecture. There is a finite union of proper subtori of and a finite set of isogenies of such that, for every subtorus satisfying
and every point , one of the following holds: ; there is such that is reducible and a subtorus on which induces an isomorphism ; or is irreducible.
This conjecturally extends the preceding toric Bertini statement by allowing reducibility to be detected after finitely many isogeny pullbacks. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
