Ziegler's generic restriction conjecture for logarithmic forms

Let A{\mathcal{A}}' be an essential and free arrangement in V=KV={\mathbb{K}}^\ell with 4\ell\geq 4. Let XX be a generic subspace with dimX>2\dim X>2, and define the restriction

AX:={HXHAAX}.{\mathcal{A}}'\cap X:=\{H\cap X\mid H\in{\mathcal{A}}'\setminus{\mathcal{A}}'_X\}.

Here, XX is generic if it is (codimX)(\ell-\operatorname{codim}X)-generic with respect to A{\mathcal{A}}', meaning that

codimV(XY)=codimX+codimY\operatorname{codim}_V(X\cap Y)=\operatorname{codim}X+\operatorname{codim}Y

for every relevant intersection subspace YY of A{\mathcal{A}}'. Write Ω1(A)\Omega^1({\mathcal{A}}') for the module of logarithmic 11-forms and resH\operatorname{res}_H for the restriction map. Ziegler's generic restriction conjecture. The map

resH ⁣:Ω1(A)Ω1(AX)\operatorname{res}_H\colon\Omega^1({\mathcal{A}}')\longrightarrow\Omega^1({\mathcal{A}}'\cap X)

is surjective, and the minimal numbers of generators of Ω1(A)\Omega^1({\mathcal{A}}') and Ω1(AX)\Omega^1({\mathcal{A}}'\cap X) are equal. This conjecture concerns how logarithmic forms behave under generic cuts of free arrangements; Ziegler stated that it would imply that such a generic cut is never free. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
