Teissier's one-hypersurface conjecture for Arnold exponents

Let XX be a smooth complex nn-dimensional algebraic variety, let fOX(X)f\in\operatorname{\mathcal O}_X(X) be nonzero, and let PXP\in X be a point in the zero-locus of ff such that ff has an isolated singularity at PP. If HH is a smooth hypersurface in XX containing PP and fHf\vert_H has an isolated singularity at PP, then Teissier's one-hypersurface conjecture.

σP(f)σP(fH)+11+θP(f).\sigma_P(f)\geq\sigma_P(f\vert_H)+\frac{1}{1+\theta_P(f)}.

This one-hypersurface statement implies the successive-hyperplane formulation above. The paper proves the conjecture in the case of log canonical thresholds, while the general Arnold-exponent formulation is the broader conjectural framework.
