Self-dual realizability conjecture for four-dimensional strongly involutive cones

At least 3 years old · documented by

A polyhedral cone is a convex cone defined by finitely many linear inequalities, and a realization of such a cone is a concrete geometric representation with the prescribed face structure. A cone is combinatorially self-dual if its face lattice is isomorphic to its dual face lattice, and it is strongly involutive when this self-duality is induced by an involutive correspondence between faces.

Self-dual realizability conjecture. All 44-dimensional strongly involutive combinatorially self-dual polyhedral cones have self-dual realizations.

The claim is suggested by semidefinite computations producing slack matrices with the required support and rank for all examined instances with up to 1717 vertices, although those numerical certificates do not constitute a rigorous proof. The general assertion remains open.
