The converse supersolvability conjecture for ψ-graphical arrangements

Let (G,ψ)(G,\psi) be a graph together with the data defining its ψ\psi-graphical arrangement AG,ψ\mathcal{A}_{G,\psi}. Suppose the vertices of GG can be ordered as v1,,vpv_1,\dots,v_p so that each vi+1v_{i+1} connects to previous vertices along a clique, and whenever i<ji<j and viv_i is adjacent to vjv_j, one has ψ(vj)ψ(vi)\psi(v_j)\subseteq\psi(v_i). The arrangement is supersolvable when the intersection lattice of its cone contains a maximal chain of modular elements. The converse supersolvability conjecture. If AG,ψ\mathcal{A}_{G,\psi} is supersolvable, then (G,ψ)(G,\psi) satisfies these two ordering conditions. The conjecture would extend the characterization of supersolvable graphical arrangements by chordal graphs to ψ\psi-graphical arrangements; the paper notes that it may not be difficult to prove and suggests studying analogues of other characterizations of chordal graphs.
