Batyrev's conjecture on K-orbits and the valuation cone
Let be a spherical homogeneous space, let be a maximal compact subgroup of , and let be the valuation cone. For each face of , let denote the corresponding boundary face of the stratification of . Batyrev's conjecture. The space is a stratified manifold with corners whose boundary faces are in natural bijection with the faces of ; the stabilizers of points in the relative interior of are maximal compact subgroups in the corresponding satellite subgroup of . Moreover, there is a homeomorphism of stratified spaces
that restricts, for every face , to a homeomorphism between the relative interiors of and . The conjecture proposes a precise relation between the compact orbit space and the valuation cone, supported in the paper by examples but not established in general.
