Conjecture F on homological stability for complements of discriminants

Let XX be an irreducible smooth complex variety, let jλ^j\lambda denote the partition obtained by adjoining jj parts equal to 11 to a partition λ\lambda, and let Wλ(X)W_{\lambda}(X) be the complement in Symk(X)\operatorname{Sym}_k(X) of the closure of the stratum associated with λ\lambda. Conjecture F. For jj sufficiently large relative to ii,

dimHi(W1jλ(X);Q)=dimHi(W1j+1λ(X);Q).\dim H_i(W_{1^j \lambda}(X);\mathbb{Q})=\dim H_i(W_{1^{j+1} \lambda}(X);\mathbb{Q}).

The paper proves this conjecture and strengthens it to an isomorphism for arbitrary connected manifolds of dimension at least 22, with an explicit stability range; therefore the conjecture is resolved.
