Cluster fan polytopality conjecture

Let Φ\Phi be a root system of rank nn, let QRQ_{\mathbb R} be the ambient real vector space of its root lattice, and let Δ(Φ)\Delta(\Phi) be the cluster complex. The cones R0C\mathbb R_{\geq 0}C generated by clusters CC form the complete simplicial fan described in the source.

Cluster fan polytopality conjecture. The simplicial fan generated by the clusters is the normal fan of a simple nn-dimensional convex polytope P(Φ)P(\Phi).

This conjecture asks for a polytopal realization of the cluster fan and connects cluster complexes with the geometry of generalized associahedra. The source supplies no resolution status.
