The period-integral description of tautological-system solutions for complete intersections

Let X=G/PX=G/P be a homogeneous variety, let E=L1LrE=L_1\oplus\cdots\oplus L_r be a direct sum of homogeneous line bundles, and let YiY_i be the zero locus of the LiL_i-component of a section sbs_b corresponding to bVb\in V^\vee. Write τV\tau_V for the tautological system and DV\mathcal D_{V^\vee} for the sheaf of differential operators on VV^\vee. The solution sheaf is evaluated at bb, and Hn(X(Y1Yr))H_n(X-(Y_1\cup\cdots\cup Y_r)) denotes the corresponding homology group. The period-integral conjecture. There is a natural isomorphism

HomDV(τV,O)bHn(X(Y1Yr)).\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal D_{V^\vee}}(\tau_V,\mathcal O)|_b\cong H_n(X-(Y_1\cup\cdots\cup Y_r)).

This conjecture proposes that solutions of the tautological system for the complete intersection are represented by period integrals over cycles in the complement of the divisors Y1,,YrY_1,\ldots,Y_r. The source gives no resolution status, so the conjecture is treated as open.
