The flip-folded transposition-mirror conjecture for non-Fano toric hypersurfaces

Let ZfXZ_f\subset X be a Calabi–Yau hypersurface in a non-Fano toric variety XX whose spanning polytope D(X)\mathcal D^\star(X) is non-convex. Let X~\widetilde X be the toric space associated with the flip-folded spanning multitope \mathcal D^\star(\widetilde X)=(\mathcal D^\star(\widetilde X))^\widetilde{\ }\subset\mathcal D(X), and let ZfTX~Z_{f^{\mathrm T}}\subset\widetilde X be the transposed hypersurface.

Flip-folded transposition-mirror conjecture. (1) The transposition mirror may be found as the transposed hypersurface ZfTZ_{f^{\mathrm T}} in X~\widetilde X. (2) The toric space X~\widetilde X, and possibly the mirror hypersurface ZfTZ_{f^{\mathrm T}}, are pre-complex: their complex structures degenerate at isolated locations corresponding to the flip-folded elements of D(X~)\mathcal D^\star(\widetilde X).

This conjecture extends the transposition-mirror construction to non-convex spanning polytopes and predicts isolated complex-structure obstructions. The source supplies no proof, so it remains open.
