The pseudo-symmetry or F-equivalence conjecture for nonsingular toric Fano varieties

Let TNemb(Σ)T_N\operatorname{emb}(\Sigma) be a nonsingular toric Fano dd-fold, with NR=NZRN_{\mathbf R}=N\otimes_{\mathbf Z}\mathbf R. A dd-dimensional strongly convex rational polyhedral cone is a member of Σ(d)\Sigma(d). The variety is pseudo-symmetric if there exist dd-dimensional strongly convex rational polyhedral cones σ,σΣ(d)\sigma,\sigma'\in\Sigma(d) such that

σ=σ:={xNRxσ}.\sigma=-\sigma':=\{-x\in N_{\mathbf R}\mid x\in\sigma'\}.

Pseudo-symmetry or F-equivalence conjecture. Any nonsingular toric Fano dd-fold is either pseudo-symmetric or F-equivalent to the dd-dimensional projective space Pd\mathbf P^{d}.

This conjecture would provide representatives for the classification of nonsingular toric Fano varieties under F-equivalence, which is generated by equivariant blow-ups and blow-downs through toric Fano varieties. The source states that it holds for d4d\leq 4 as a consequence of the known classification; no resolution is supplied for general dd.
