The LCT–strong Euler-homogeneity conjecture for free divisors

About 3 years old · traced to

Let XX be a complex analytic manifold of dimension nn, and let DD be a free divisor, meaning that Der⁡X(−log⁡D)\operatorname{Der}_X(-\log D) is a locally free OX\mathcal{O}_X-module. The Logarithmic Comparison Theorem for DD is the assertion that the natural morphism

ΩX∙(log⁡D)⟶Rj∗CU\Omega_X^\bullet(\log D)\longrightarrow Rj_*\mathbb{C}_U

is a quasi-isomorphism, where U=X∖DU=X\setminus D and j:U↪Xj:U\hookrightarrow X is the inclusion. A divisor is strongly Euler-homogeneous if, at every point x∈Dx\in D, a reduced local equation ff admits a derivation δ∈mX,xDer⁡X,x\delta\in\mathfrak{m}_{X,x}\operatorname{Der}_{X,x} such that δ(f)=f\delta(f)=f.

LCT–strong Euler-homogeneity conjecture. If DD satisfies the Logarithmic Comparison Theorem, then DD is strongly Euler-homogeneous.

This conjecture links the cohomological behavior of the complement of a free divisor with the existence of Euler-type logarithmic derivations. It was proved in dimension n=2n=2; the general higher-dimensional case remains open in the source.
