The tropical halfspace representation conjecture for pure tropical polytopes

Let PP be a tropical polytope, let P\overline{P} be a lift of PP, and call the lift generic when it satisfies the genericity condition used in the source. Call PP pure when all of its maximal cells have the same dimension, and call PP generic when it satisfies the source's genericity condition.

Tropical halfspace representation conjecture. If PP is pure, then the halfspaces from a generic lift P\overline{P} of PP map to tropical halfspaces whose intersection is PP itself. If, in addition, PP is generic, then any lift works.

The preceding proposition proves the assertion under the additional hypothesis that the relevant intersection of tropical halfspaces is pure; the conjecture asserts that this purity conclusion holds in general.
