Unimodality conjecture for Betti numbers of venustus real toric manifolds

Let B\mathcal{B} be a venustus building set, and let XBRX^\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{B}} be its associated real toric manifold. Write βk(XBR)\beta_k(X^\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{B}}) for its rational Betti numbers. Unimodality conjecture. The sequence

{βk(XBR)}k0\{\beta_k(X^\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{B}})\}_{k \geq 0}

is unimodal. The authors report that unimodality holds for the real permutohedral varieties and that they have found no graphical building set whose Betti-number sequence is not unimodal; the conjecture remains open for venustus building sets in general.
