Functorial braid group action on derived categories of moduli spaces

Let XX be the Salvetti complex associated with the discriminantal arrangement, let Θ\Theta be its set of vertices, and let Π1(X,Θ)\Pi_1(X,\Theta) be the fundamental groupoid. For each vertex ηΘ\eta\in\Theta, let Db(Mη)D^b(\mathfrak{M}_\eta) be the bounded derived category of the corresponding moduli space. For each oriented edge α:ηη\alpha:\eta\to\eta', let Φα:Db(Mη)Db(Mη)\Phi_\alpha:D^b(\mathfrak{M}_\eta)\to D^b(\mathfrak{M}_\eta') be the associated Fourier--Mukai equivalence. Functorial braid group action conjecture. There exists a unique functor

F:Π1(X,Θ)Cat\mathcal F:\Pi_1(X,\Theta)\longrightarrow \operatorname{Cat}

sending each vertex ηΘ\eta\in\Theta to the object Db(Mη)D^b(\mathfrak{M}_\eta) and each oriented edge α:ηη\alpha:\eta\to\eta' to the equivalence Φα\Phi_\alpha. This would package the Fourier--Mukai equivalences associated with the oriented edges into a coherent action of the fundamental groupoid, with the codimension--2 relations ensuring compatibility of compositions along homotopic paths.
