Width-one conjecture for rational toric hypersurfaces

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let PP be a dd-dimensional lattice polytope. Suppose that, for every field KK, every irreducible toric hypersurface Z⊂TKdZ\subset\mathbb{T}^d_K with Newton polytope PP is birational over KK to AKd−1\mathbb{A}^{d-1}_K. A lattice polytope has width one if it admits a lattice projection onto the segment [0,1][0,1].

Width-one conjecture. Under the stated hypothesis, PP has width one.

The preceding lemma establishes that width one implies rationality for non-degenerate toric hypersurfaces. The conjecture asserts a converse under the stronger universal rationality assumption; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
