The toric Fano surface-intersection conjecture

Let XX be a smooth toric Fano dd-fold, and let VdV^d denote the exceptional toric Fano variety used in the paper. A torus invariant subsurface is a torus-invariant surface SXS\subset X of Picard number two. The toric Fano surface-intersection conjecture. If XX is isomorphic to neither Pd\mathbb{P}^d nor VdV^d, then there exists a torus invariant subsurface SXS\subset X of Picard number two such that

ch2(X)S0.\mathrm{ch}_2(X)\cdot S\le 0.

The conjecture strengthens the paper's explicit results by asserting the existence of such a surface uniformly for every smooth toric Fano variety outside the two exceptional families; its general status is left open by the supplied text.
