The Newton non-degenerate homaloidal hypersurface conjecture
The Newton non-degenerate homaloidal hypersurface conjecture
Let be a Newton non-degenerate homogeneous polynomial of degree defining a homaloidal hypersurface. Let be the polytopes associated with in Proposition 4.9: if are the facets of and
then these are the polytopes whose mixed volume gives the polar degree. Homaloidal hypersurface conjecture. There is a renumbering of such that, for every , the quotient
is a segment of lattice length . This gives a proposed combinatorial characterization of Newton non-degenerate homaloidal hypersurfaces; the authors verify it for the examples cited from Huh and report no counterexamples, but the general assertion remains open.
