Yoshinaga's sharp-pair conjecture on monodromy of real arrangements

Let A{\mathcal A} be a real affine line arrangement and let A\overline{{\mathcal A}} be its projective arrangement. A sharp pair of lines is a pair of projective lines satisfying the sharpness condition for the arrangement. An arrangement is a-monodromic when it has no nontrivial monodromy, and let h1h_1 denote the monodromy operator on first homology. Yoshinaga's conjecture. If A\overline{{\mathcal A}} has a sharp pair of lines and A{\mathcal A} is not a-monodromic, then the eigenvalues of h1h_1 are cubic roots of unity. The conjecture is one of the statements motivating the paper's study of sharp arrangements; its status is open in the supplied source.
