The equivariant blow-up decomposition conjecture for nonsingular toric Fano varieties

From papers

Let XX and YY be nonsingular toric Fano dd-folds, and let φ:YX\varphi:Y\longrightarrow X be an equivariant morphism. An equivariant blow-up is the blow-up along a TNT_N-invariant irreducible closed subvariety. Equivariant blow-up decomposition conjecture. The morphism φ\varphi should admit a decomposition

Y=XrφrXr1φr1φ2X1φ1X0=XY=X_r\stackrel{\varphi_r}{\longrightarrow}X_{r-1}\stackrel{\varphi_{r-1}}{\longrightarrow}\cdots\stackrel{\varphi_2}{\longrightarrow}X_1\stackrel{\varphi_1}{\longrightarrow}X_0=X

where each XiX_i for 0ir0\leq i\leq r is a nonsingular toric Fano dd-fold, and each φj\varphi_j for 1jr1\leq j\leq r is an equivariant blow-up along a TNT_N-invariant irreducible closed subvariety of Xj1X_{j-1}.

This would extend the three-dimensional decomposition theorem to arbitrary dimension and is presented as a possible continuation of the classification method for d4d\geq4. The source gives no resolution beyond the established three-dimensional case.
