Oda's conjectures on integer decomposition properties of smooth polytopes
Let a lattice polytope be smooth if at every vertex it has exactly edges whose primitive edge vectors form a lattice basis. A lattice polytope has the integer decomposition property (IDP) if, for every integer , every lattice point of is a sum of lattice points of . Two lattice polytopes and form an IDP pair if
Oda's conjectures. The following two statements are true: (1) every smooth polytope has the IDP; and (2) if are smooth polytopes and the normal fan of refines the normal fan of , then and form an IDP pair.
These conjectures concern lattice-point decompositions and, equivalently, projective normality of the associated projective toric varieties. The source presents them as questions raised by Tadao Oda; no resolution status is supplied here.
