Polynomial ideal conjecture for pairwise coprime linear forms

About 11 years old · traced to

Let f1,…,fm∈C[x,y]f_1,\ldots,f_m\in\mathbb C[x,y] be linear forms such that gcd⁡(fi,fj)=1\gcd(f_i,f_j)=1 for all i≠ji\neq j. For each pair i<ji<j, let ⟨fi+z,fj+z⟩\langle f_i+z,f_j+z\rangle denote the ideal of C[x,y,z]\mathbb C[x,y,z] generated by fi+zf_i+z and fj+zf_j+z. Polynomial ideal conjecture. One has

∏i=1mfi∉⋂1≤i<j≤m⟨fi+z,fj+z⟩.\prod_{i=1}^m f_i\notin\bigcap_{1\leq i<j\leq m}\langle f_i+z,f_j+z\rangle.

The paper states this as an equivalent commutative-algebraic formulation of the complex arrangement conjecture. It remains open in the source, although the geometric conjecture is verified there for arrangements with at most 1212 lines.
