Hilbert-series conjecture for the differential closure of the central zonotopal ideal

About 24 years old · traced to

Let A{\mathcal{A}} be a rank rr central multiarrangement in Cn\mathbb{C}^n with ∣A∣=m|{\mathcal{A}}|=m. Define

IA′=(λLρA(L),dλLρA(L):L⊆Cn a line)⊆Ωn.I'_{{\mathcal{A}}}=\left( \lambda_L^{\rho_{{\mathcal{A}}}(L)}, d\lambda_L^{\rho_{{\mathcal{A}}}(L)}: L \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n \text{ a line} \right) \subseteq \Omega_n.

Here Ωn\Omega_n is the superspace algebra, λL\lambda_L is the linear form associated with the line LL, and ρA(L)\rho_{{\mathcal{A}}}(L) is the corresponding rank-nullity exponent. Let TA(x,y)T_{{\mathcal{A}}}(x,y) denote the Tutte polynomial of A{\mathcal{A}}. Hilbert-series conjecture. The bigraded Hilbert series of the quotient Ωn/IA′\Omega_n/I'_{{\mathcal{A}}} satisfies

Hilb(Ωn/IA′;q,t)=(1+t)rqm−rTA(11+t,1q).{\mathrm{Hilb}}\left(\Omega_n/I'_{{\mathcal{A}}};q,t\right)=(1+t)^rq^{m-r}T_{{\mathcal{A}}}\left(\frac{1}{1+t},\frac{1}{q}\right).

This conjecture would give a Tutte-polynomial specialization for the differential closure that simultaneously reflects the classical central and internal zonotopal algebras. The relevant Hilbert series is known, but a basis for the corresponding Macaulay inverse is not known, and the internal zonotopal algebra remains comparatively difficult to understand.
