Bøgvad's conjecture on quadratic generation for smooth polytopes

About 7 years old · traced to

Let P⊂RdP\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a lattice polytope, and let AP={(α,1)∈Zd+1:α∈P∩Zd}{\mathcal A}_P=\{(\alpha,1)\in\mathbb{Z}^{d+1}:\alpha\in P\cap\mathbb{Z}^d\}. The toric ideal of PP is the kernel of the map from the polynomial ring whose variables correspond to the points of AP{\mathcal A}_P to the toric ring generated by their Laurent monomials. The polytope PP is smooth if, at every vertex, its primitive edge-direction vectors form a Z\mathbb{Z}-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.
