Salvetti–Serventi connected homology graph conjecture for real arrangements

Let A{\mathcal A} be a real affine line arrangement, and let Γ(A)\Gamma({\mathcal A}) be the graph whose vertices are the lines HAH\in{\mathcal A}, with an edge (H,H)(H,H') exactly when HHH\cap H' is a point of multiplicity two. An arrangement is a-monodromic when no nontrivial monodromy eigenvalues occur. Salvetti–Serventi's conjecture. If Γ(A)\Gamma({\mathcal A}) is connected, then A{\mathcal A} is a-monodromic. This conjecture concerns when the combinatorics of an arrangement force trivial monodromy on the Milnor fiber; its status is open in the supplied source.
