The canonical-weight criterion for the τB=τR\tau_B=\tau_R condition

Let a Newton polynomial have maximally tempered coefficients, and let the same coefficients be obtained from canonical edge weights on the associated brane tiling. Let τB\tau_B and τR\tau_R denote the complex structures associated with the blue and red data, respectively. Equality of these complex structures is considered modulo the action of SL(2,Z)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}).

Canonical-weight criterion conjecture. Up to SL(2,Z)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}), the condition

τB=τR\tau_B=\tau_R

holds if and only if the maximally tempered coefficients of the Newton polynomial coincide with the coefficients from canonical edge weights on the tiling.

The conjecture proposes that the symmetry reflected by equality of the two complex structures is exactly characterized by agreement between maximally tempered and canonical-weight coefficients. The claim is based on known examples, while examples such as the suspended pinch point motivate the distinction.
