The phase limit set conjecture for discriminant coamoebas

Let AZmA\subset\mathbb{Z}^m be a nondefective configuration with Gale dual BZdB\subset\mathbb{Z}^d. For d>2d>2, write cA(DB){\it c}\mathscr{A}(D_B) for the discriminant coamoeba of the discriminant DBD_B, and let P(DB)\mathscr{P}^{\infty}(D_B) denote its phase limit set.

Phase limit set conjecture. The closure of the discriminant coamoeba equals the phase limit set:

cA(DB)=P(DB).\overline{{\it c}\mathscr{A}(D_B)}=\mathscr{P}^{\infty}(D_B).

This conjecture is motivated by computations and is an analogue of the solidity of discriminant amoebas. The surrounding results describe the components and dd-dimensional strata of the phase limit set, but the equality is not established in general; it is known in the case d=3d=3 through the results discussed in the paper.
