Coarsest Dressian structure conjecture for tropical Grassmannians

About 6 years old · traced to

Let TGr⁡0(k,n)\operatorname{TGr}_0(k,n) denote the characteristic-zero tropical Grassmannian, let Dr⁡(k,n)\operatorname{Dr}(k,n) denote the Dressian, and let In,k\mathcal I_{n,k} be the Plücker ideal. For w,v∈TGr⁡0(k,n)w,v\in\operatorname{TGr}_0(k,n) in the relative interior of a maximal Gröbner cone, write (⋅):p∞(\cdot):p^\infty for saturation at the product pp of all Plücker variables. Coarsest Dressian structure conjecture. For any such ww and vv,

w and v lie on the same cone of Dr⁡(k,n)⟺in⁡w(In,k):p∞=in⁡v(In,k):p∞.w \text{ and } v \text{ lie on the same cone of } \operatorname{Dr}(k,n) \quad \Longleftrightarrow\quad \operatorname{in}_w(\mathcal I_{n,k}):p^\infty = \operatorname{in}_v(\mathcal I_{n,k}):p^\infty.

In particular, there is a subfan of the Dressian Dr⁡(n,k)\operatorname{Dr}(n,k) which coarsens the Gröbner subfan supported on TGr⁡0(n,k)\operatorname{TGr}_0(n,k). This conjecture concerns the existence of a natural coarsest polyhedral structure on tropical Grassmannians; all computations up to and including the paper's support it, but its general validity remains open.
