Asymptotic exponent-difference conjecture for Coxeter B2B_2 multiarrangements

About 1 year old · traced to

Let (A,m)(\mathcal{A},m) be a balanced 22-multiarrangement with defining polynomial

Q(A,m)=xm1ym2(x−y)m3(x+y)m4,Q(\mathcal{A},m)=x^{m_1}y^{m_2}(x-y)^{m_3}(x+y)^{m_4},

where mi≥3m_i\geq 3. Write its exponents as exp⁡(A,m)=(d1,d2)\exp(\mathcal{A},m)=(d_1,d_2) and define the difference of the exponents by Δ(A,m):=∣d1−d2∣\Delta(\mathcal{A},m):=|d_1-d_2|. Set

n1:=∣m2−m1∣,n2:=∣m4−m3∣.n_1:=|m_2-m_1|,\qquad n_2:=|m_4-m_3|.

Asymptotic exponent-difference conjecture. There exists a natural number N∈NN\in\mathbb{N} such that, whenever min⁡{n1,n2}≥N\min\{n_1,n_2\}\geq N, one has Δ(A,m)≤1\Delta(\mathcal{A},m)\leq 1. This conjecture concerns the remaining classification of exponents for the Coxeter arrangement of type B2B_2; only partial classification is currently known, so the asserted threshold remains open.
