K(π,1) conjecture for the stability-condition and hyperplane-complement spaces

Let W\mathbb W be the Coxeter group, let Υreg\Upsilon_{\operatorname{reg}} be the regular locus of the associated complexified parameter space, and let StabC(D)\operatorname{Stab}^\dagger_{\mathcal C}(\mathcal D) be the distinguished connected component of equivariant stability conditions.

K(π,1) conjecture. The space StabC(D)\operatorname{Stab}^\dagger_{\mathcal C}(\mathcal D) is contractible; consequently, both Υreg/W\Upsilon_{\operatorname{reg}}/\mathbb W and Υreg\Upsilon_{\operatorname{reg}} are K(π,1)K(\pi,1) spaces.

This conjecture is motivated by analogous expectations for Bridgeland stability conditions. The paper's covering-space theorem gives the stated relationship among these spaces, but does not establish contractibility in general; the finite-Coxeter case follows from the known K(π,1)K(\pi,1) theorem.
