Vanishing homology and intersection homology under constant Euler characteristic

Let G=(G1,,Gn1):CnCn1G=(G_1,\ldots,G_{n-1}):\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}^{n-1} be a polynomial mapping with n2n\geq 2 and K0(G)=K_0(G)=\emptyset. Assume that there exists a very good projection with respect to t0Cn1t^0\in\mathbb{C}^{n-1}. Suppose that the Euler characteristic of G1(t)G^{-1}(t) is constant for every tCn1t\in\mathbb{C}^{n-1}. Let VG(ρ){\mathcal{V}}_G(\rho) be the associated variety for a real positive function ρ\rho. Vanishing homology conjecture. There exists a real positive function ρ:CnR\rho:\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{R} such that

H2(VG(ρ),R)=0H_2({\mathcal{V}}_G(\rho),\mathbb{R})=0

and

IH2t(VG(ρ),R)=0.IH_2^{\overline{t}}({\mathcal{V}}_G(\rho),\mathbb{R})=0.

This is the second suggested conjecture in the discussion and concerns realizing the topological consequences of constant Euler characteristic through a suitable choice of the function ρ\rho.
