Achinger–Witaszek–Zdanowicz conjecture on Frobenius-liftable varieties

Let XX be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic p>0p>0, with Frobenius morphism

FX:XX.F_X:X\to X.

Assume that the pair (X,FX)(X,F_X) admits a flat lifting over W2(k)W_2(k).

Achinger–Witaszek–Zdanowicz conjecture. There exists a finite étale Galois cover f:YXf:Y\to X such that the Albanese morphism

YAlb(Y)Y\to\operatorname{Alb}(Y)

admits a structure of a toric fibration. If XX is simply connected, then XX is a toric variety.

A complete classification of FF-liftable smooth projective surfaces over W2(k)W_2(k) is known, but the stated higher-dimensional classification remains open.
