Asymptotic exponent-difference conjecture for Coxeter B2B_2 multiarrangements

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

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

where mi3m_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):=d1d2\Delta(\mathcal{A},m):=|d_1-d_2|. Set

n1:=m2m1,n2:=m4m3.n_1:=|m_2-m_1|,\qquad n_2:=|m_4-m_3|.

Asymptotic exponent-difference conjecture. There exists a natural number NNN\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.
