Bøgvad's conjecture on quadratic generation for smooth polytopes
Let be a lattice polytope, and let . The toric ideal of is the kernel of the map from the polynomial ring whose variables correspond to the points of to the toric ring generated by their Laurent monomials. The polytope is smooth if, at every vertex, its primitive edge-direction vectors form a -basis of the ambient lattice. Bøgvad's conjecture. The toric ideal of every smooth polytope is generated by quadratic binomials. This is a conjecture about quadratic generation of toric ideals associated with smooth polytopes, linking Gröbner-basis questions in combinatorial algebra with smooth projective toric geometry. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied source context.
