Yano's generic b-exponent conjecture for irreducible plane curves

Let fC{x,y}f\in\mathbb{C}\{x,y\} define the germ of an irreducible plane curve with semigroup

Γ=β0,β1,,βg.\Gamma=\langle\overline{\beta}_0,\overline{\beta}_1,\dots,\overline{\beta}_g\rangle.

Let π:XC2\pi:X'\to\mathbb{C}^2 be a log-resolution, and let E1,,EgE_1,\dots,E_g be the rupture divisors, with multiplicities NiN_i in the total transform and coefficients kik_i in the relative canonical divisor. Set

ei1=gcd(β0,β1,,βi1).e_{i-1}=\gcd(\overline{\beta}_0,\overline{\beta}_1,\dots,\overline{\beta}_{i-1}).

Yano's conjecture. For generic curves in some Γ\Gamma-constant deformation of ff, the bb-exponents are

i=1g{λi,=ki+1+Ni | 0<Ni, βiλi,Z, ei1λi,Z}.\bigcup_{i=1}^g\left\{\lambda_{i,\ell}=\frac{k_i+1+\ell}{N_i}\ \middle|\ 0\leq\ell<N_i,\ \overline{\beta}_i\lambda_{i,\ell}\notin\mathbb{Z},\ e_{i-1}\lambda_{i,\ell}\notin\mathbb{Z}\right\}.

The conjecture gives a formula for the generic Bernstein–Sato exponents of irreducible plane curves using the semigroup or, equivalently, the numerical data of a log-resolution. Its status is not established by the supplied source context.
