The Solomon–Terao polynomial order-degree conjecture for multiarrangements

Let (A,m)({\mathcal{A}},m) be a tame multiarrangement of rank \ell, and let Ud+1(A)U_{d+1}({\mathcal{A}}) denote the set of generic elements used to define the Solomon–Terao algebra. For ηUd+1(A)\eta\in U_{d+1}({\mathcal{A}}), let STd+1(A;x)ST_{d+1}({\mathcal{A}};x) be the Solomon–Terao polynomial of order d+1d+1.

Solomon–Terao order-degree conjecture. If ηUd+1(A)\eta\in U_{d+1}({\mathcal{A}}), then STd+1(A;x)ST_{d+1}({\mathcal{A}};x) is monic of degree

A+(d1).|{\mathcal{A}}|+\ell(d-1).

This is presented as the conjecture on the top-degree monomials of the Solomon–Terao polynomials, recalling a conjecture from AMMN. The preceding theorem establishes the relevant Hilbert-series description for tame multiarrangements, but the stated monicity and degree formula remain unresolved in the supplied text.
