Sharpness conjecture for Newton–Okounkov bodies of Hilbert schemes on toric surfaces

Let XX be a smooth, projective, toric surface, let X[n]X^{[n]} be its Hilbert scheme of nn points, and write every divisor on X[n]X^{[n]} as Dn+rED_n+rE, where DD is a torus invariant divisor on XX and rZr\in\mathbb Z. Let PDP_D be the Newton polytope of DD, and let Δ(Dn+rE)\overline{\Delta}(D_n+rE) denote the convex upper bound for the Newton–Okounkov body Δ(Dn+rE)\Delta(D_n+rE) given by the inequalities in Theorem 1.1.

Sharpness conjecture. If XX is P2\mathbb P^2, P1×P1\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1, or a Hirzebruch surface, then

Δ(Dn+rE)=Δ(Dn+rE)\Delta(D_n+rE)=\overline{\Delta}(D_n+rE)

for all divisors Dn+rEPic(X[n])D_n+rE\in\operatorname{Pic}(X^{[n]}). The conjecture asserts that the upper bound is the exact Newton–Okounkov body in these cases. For most other smooth projective toric surfaces, the containment is strict; the claim is motivated by explicit computations for small nn, while the general equality remains open.
