Quadratic generation of the Parke–Taylor ideal

Let \calI(PTn)\calI(\mathrm{PT}_n^\circ) denote the Parke–Taylor ideal before saturation, let \calF\calF be the lifts of the Plücker relations, and let \calBn\calB_n be the quadratic binomials from Theorem toricquadratics. Work in the Laurent polynomial ring C[zσ±]\mathbb{C}[z_\sigma^{\pm}].

Quadratic Parke–Taylor generation conjecture. The ideal I~(PTn)C[zσ±]\tilde{\mathcal{I}}(\mathrm{PT}_n^\circ)\subseteq\mathbb{C}[z_\sigma^{\pm}] is generated by the quadratics in \calF\calF and \calBn\calB_n.

The conjecture would give a quadratic generating set for the Laurent version of the Parke–Taylor ideal, combining lifted Plücker relations with the toric quadratic binomials. The supplied text gives no resolution or status evidence.
