Homological Zariski Problem B for initial forms

About 1 year old · traced to

Let f,g ⁣:(Cn,0)→(C,0)f,g\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\to(\mathbb{C},0) be reduced holomorphic function-germs, and let f∗f_* and g∗g_* be their initial forms. Suppose there is a homeomorphism φ ⁣:(Cn,0)→(Cn,0)\varphi\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\to(\mathbb{C}^n,0) such that f=g∘φf=g\circ\varphi. Homological Zariski Problem B conjecture. The spaces f∗−1(0)∖{0}f_*^{-1}(0)\setminus\{0\} and g∗−1(0)∖{0}g_*^{-1}(0)\setminus\{0\} should have the same homology. This is stated as a weaker form of Zariski's Problem B; the paper notes that a positive answer would imply the right-equivalence version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture, but gives no general resolution.
