The Bernstein-Sato specialization equality conjecture

Let F=(f1,3ellots,fr)F=(f_1, 3ellots,f_r), let MNp×rM\in\mathbb{N}^{p\times r} be non-zero, let mNp{\bf m}\in\mathbb{N}^p, and let FMF^M and the monomial maps ϕM\phi_M be defined as in the source. Write BFmMB_F^{{\bf m}\cdot M} and BFMmB_{F^M}^{\bf m} for the corresponding Bernstein-Sato ideals. Bernstein-Sato specialization equality conjecture. For all non-zero MNp×rM\in\mathbb{N}^{p\times r} and all vectors mNp{\bf m}\in\mathbb{N}^p,

ϕM1(Exp(V(BFmM)))=Exp(V(BFMm)).\phi_M^{-1}(\operatorname{Exp}(V(B_F^{{\bf m}\cdot M})))=\operatorname{Exp}(V(B_{F^M}^{\bf m})).

In particular, for all MM with nonzero columns,

ϕM1(Exp(V(BF)))=Exp(V(BFM)).\phi_M^{-1}(\operatorname{Exp}(V(B_F)))=\operatorname{Exp}(V(B_{F^M})).

The preceding proposition establishes only an inclusion, so this proposed converse equality is not proved there. Its general validity is open.
