Condition (I) conjecture for the elementary divisors of quasihomogeneous singularities

Let f∈C[x1,…,xn]f\in\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n] be a quasihomogeneous singularity. Define the finite sets M1⊃⋯⊃Mνmax⁡M_1\supset\cdots\supset M_{\nu_{\max}} from the multiplicities of the cyclotomic factors in the characteristic polynomial of its monodromy. For a finite set MM of positive integers, let G(M){\mathcal G}(M) be the graph whose vertices are the elements of MM, with an edge from m1m_1 to m2m_2 when m1/m2m_1/m_2 is a power of a prime. Condition (I) means that G(M){\mathcal G}(M) is connected, satisfies (S2)(S_2), and satisfies (Tp)(T_p) for every prime p≥3p\geq3. Condition (I) conjecture. For any quasihomogeneous singularity, each of the sets M1,…,Mνmax⁡M_1,\ldots,M_{\nu_{\max}} satisfies condition (I). This conjecture is presented as an amendment to Orlik's conjecture and is posed as an open problem in the source.

  1. Condition (I) conjecture for the elementary divisors of quasihomogeneous singularities

    Let f∈C[x1,…,xn]f\in\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n] be a quasihomogeneous singularity, and let M1,…,Mνmax⁡M_1,\ldots,M_{\nu_{\max}} be the finite sets obtained from the cyclotomic multiplicities of its monodromy characteristic polynomial. For a finite set MM of positive integers, condition (I) is the graph-theoretic condition that G(M){\mathcal G}(M) is connected, satisfies (S2)(S_2), and satisfies (Tp)(T_p) for every prime p≥3p\geq3. Condition (I) conjecture. For any quasihomogeneous singularity, each of the sets M1,…,Mνmax⁡M_1,\ldots,M_{\nu_{\max}} satisfies condition (I). The claim is the same amendment to Orlik's conjecture stated earlier in the paper; the source subsequently refers to it as an open problem, despite the parser's disproved status marker.
