The chirotopal tropical Grassmannian conjecture for rank three

About 4 years old · traced to

Fix a realizable chirotope χ∈{−1,1}(n3)\chi\in\{-1,1\}^{\binom{n}{3}}. Let Dr⁡3,nχ\operatorname{Dr}^\chi_{3,n} be the chirotopal Dressian, consisting of the χ\chi-tropical Plücker vectors, and let Trop⁡χG(3,n)\operatorname{Trop}^\chi G(3,n) be the realizable χ\chi-tropical Grassmannian. Work modulo the lineality space consisting of vectors with coordinates

πJ=∑j∈Jxj\pi_J=\sum_{j\in J}x_j

for x∈Rnx\in\mathbb R^n. Chirotopal tropical Grassmannian conjecture. Each Dr⁡3,nχ\operatorname{Dr}^\chi_{3,n} is a pure (3−1)(n−3−1)(3-1)(n-3-1)-dimensional polyhedral fan, and

Trop⁡χG(3,n)=Dr⁡3,nχ.\operatorname{Trop}^\chi G(3,n)=\operatorname{Dr}^\chi_{3,n}.

Moreover, for any fixed maximal cone in Trop⁡G(3,n)\operatorname{Trop}G(3,n), either the cone is contained in no chirotopal tropical Grassmannian, or it is contained in exactly 2(3−1)(n−3−1)2^{(3-1)(n-3-1)} of them. The conjecture generalizes the known characterization of the positive tropical Grassmannian by the three-term tropical Plücker relations; it asserts realizability for all rank-three realizable chirotopes and includes the stated purity and counting properties.
