Global Torelli conjecture for marked singularities

Fix a reference isolated hypersurface singularity f0f_0. Let MμmarM^{mar}_\mu be the moduli space of marked singularities, DBLD_{BL} the classifying space of marked Brieskorn lattices, BL:MμmarDBLBL:M^{mar}_\mu\to D_{BL} the period map, and GZG_{\mathbb Z} the Milnor-lattice automorphism group. Let Mμ=Mμmar/GZM_\mu=M^{mar}_\mu/G_{\mathbb Z} and let LBLLBL be the induced quotient period map. For a singularity ff in the μ\mu-homotopy class and a marking ρ\rho, write StabGZ([(f,±ρ)])\operatorname{Stab}_{G_{\mathbb Z}}([(f,\pm\rho)]) for the stabilizer and similarly for the period point. Global Torelli conjecture. The following hold: (a) BL:MμmarDBLBL:M^{mar}_\mu\to D_{BL} is injective; (b) LBL:MμDBL/GZLBL:M_\mu\to D_{BL}/G_{\mathbb Z} is injective; and (c)

StabGZ([(f,±ρ)])=StabGZ(BL([(f,±ρ)])).\operatorname{Stab}_{G_{\mathbb Z}}([(f,\pm\rho)])=\operatorname{Stab}_{G_{\mathbb Z}}(BL([(f,\pm\rho)])).

The conjecture asks whether Brieskorn-lattice period data determine marked or unmarked singularities and whether the period map detects all stabilizers. The source notes that only the inclusion from the left-hand stabilizer into the right-hand one, together with finiteness of both groups, is clear.
