The ambient-monodromy realization conjecture for toric fibres

From papers

Let XX be a compact toric manifold, let T(x),T(x)XT(x),T(x')\subset X be toric fibres, and identify H2(X,T(x))H_2(X,T(x)) with H2(X,T(x))H_2(X,T(x')) canonically. Let D(x)\mathcal{D}(x) and D(x)\mathcal{D}(x') denote the distinguished subspaces of relative homology classes, and let mT(x)m_{T(x)}, mT(x)m_{T(x')} and σT(x)\sigma_{T(x)}, σT(x)\sigma_{T(x')} be the Maslov and symplectic area classes. An ambient monodromy is the map on relative homology induced by a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism mapping T(x)T(x) to T(x)T(x').

Ambient-monodromy realization conjecture. An isomorphism ΦAutH2(X,T(x))\Phi\in\operatorname{Aut}H_2(X,T(x)) can be realized as the ambient monodromy of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism mapping T(x)T(x) to T(x)T(x') if and only if

Φ(D(x))=D(x),ΦmT(x)=mT(x),ΦσT(x)=σT(x),ΦH2(X)=id.\Phi(\mathcal{D}(x))=\mathcal{D}(x'),\qquad \Phi^*m_{T(x')}=m_{T(x)},\qquad \Phi^*\sigma_{T(x')}=\sigma_{T(x)},\qquad \Phi\vert_{H_2(X)}=\operatorname{id}.

The displayed identities are proved in the paper to be necessary for ambient Hamiltonian monodromy. The conjecture asserts that they are also sufficient; its general status is open.
