Cube-ideal set conjecture for bounded non-agreement certificates

About 7 years old · traced to

Let S⊆{0,1}nS\subseteq\{0,1\}^n. Call SS cube-ideal if every facet of conv⁡(S)\operatorname{conv}(S) is defined by xi≥0x_i\geq0, xi≤1x_i\leq1, or an inequality

∑i∈Ixi+∑j∈J(1−xj)≥1\sum_{i\in I}x_i+\sum_{j\in J}(1-x_j)\geq1

for disjoint I,J⊆[n]I,J\subseteq[n]. Points agree on a coordinate if they all lie in a common coordinate hyperplane xi=ax_i=a for some i∈[n]i\in[n] and a∈{0,1}a\in\{0,1\}.

Cube-ideal set conjecture. There exists an integer k≥4k\geq4 such that for every cube-ideal set, either all the points agree on a coordinate, or there is a subset of at most kk points that do not agree on a coordinate.

This is the cuboid reformulation of the main non-idealness conjecture. It asks for a uniformly bounded certificate of failure of coordinate agreement in cube-ideal sets.
