The polyhedral realization conjecture for the bialgebra PROP differential

Let m,nm,n be positive integers, let ξnm\xi^m_n denote the generator indexed by mm inputs and nn outputs, and let \partial be the perturbed differential in the minimal model of the PROP for bialgebras. A convex polyhedron of dimension m+n3m+n-3 has codimension-one faces of dimension m+n4m+n-4. Polyhedral realization conjecture. There exists a series of convex (m+n3)(m+n-3)-dimensional polyhedra BnmB^m_n such that

(ξnm)\partial(\xi^m_n)

is the sum of the codimension-one faces of these polyhedra. This conjecture proposes a geometric realization of the differential in terms of convex polyhedra, extending the explicit low-complexity calculations in the resolution of the PROP for bialgebras. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been proved or refuted.
