The 37-hyperplane conjecture for irreducible simplicial arrangements

About 9 years old · traced to

Let A\mathcal{A} be an irreducible simplicial arrangement of rank three. Write

R(1)={A(2n,1)∣n≥3},R(2)={A(4m+1,1)∣m≥2}.\mathcal{R}(1)=\{\mathcal{A}(2n,1)\mid n\geq 3\},\qquad \mathcal{R}(2)=\{\mathcal{A}(4m+1,1)\mid m\geq 2\}.

37-hyperplane conjecture. If ∣A∣>37\lvert\mathcal{A}\rvert>37, then

A∈R(1)∪R(2).\mathcal{A}\in\mathcal{R}(1)\cup\mathcal{R}(2).

The claim would show that every irreducible simplicial arrangement of rank three with more than 3737 hyperplanes belongs to one of the two known infinite series, leaving only the observed sporadic arrangements below this bound. The completeness of the rank-three list remains conjectural.
