The Orlik–Terao conjecture for graphical configuration spaces
The Orlik–Terao conjecture for graphical configuration spaces
Let be a directed graph, let be its graphical configuration space, and let be the reduced Orlik–Terao algebra associated with its graphical vector arrangement. Let be the automorphism group of the underlying undirected graph, acting on both the cohomology and the reduced Orlik–Terao algebra. Orlik–Terao conjecture. For any graph , there exists a degree-halving isomorphism of graded -representations
This conjecture predicts that the cohomology representation of the graphical configuration space is encoded by the reduced Orlik–Terao algebra. The supplied source gives no evidence of a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
