The symmetry conjecture for tropical theta functions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let (X,E)(X,E) be a smooth Looijenga pair with affine interior U=X∖EU=X\setminus E, let u:T→Xu:\mathcal T\to X be the universal torsor, and set G=T∣UG=\mathcal T|_U. Let VV be the mirror to GG, and let Sk⁡(u)\operatorname{Sk}(u) and Sk⁡(V)\operatorname{Sk}(V) denote the corresponding skeleta. For u∈Sk⁡(u)u\in\operatorname{Sk}(u) and v∈Sk⁡(V)v\in\operatorname{Sk}(V), write θu∈Sk⁡(u)trop(v)\theta_{u\in\operatorname{Sk}(u)}^{\mathrm{trop}}(v) for the tropical theta function evaluated at vv. Symmetry conjecture.

θu∈Sk⁡(u)trop(v)=θv∈Sk⁡(V)trop(u).\theta_{u\in\operatorname{Sk}(u)}^{\mathrm{trop}}(v)=\theta_{v\in\operatorname{Sk}(V)}^{\mathrm{trop}}(u).

This is the proposed symmetry between the two tropical theta-function constructions and is part of the scheme intended to produce a theta-function basis of the Cox ring. The source gives no evidence resolving it.
