Yagi–Yoshinaga's filtered VG-algebra reconstruction conjecture

From papers

Let A\mathcal{A} and B\mathcal{B} be real central hyperplane arrangements, and let RR be an integral domain with charR2\operatorname{char}R\neq 2. Write VG(A)R=RCh(A)\mathrm{VG}(\mathcal{A})_R=R^{\mathrm{Ch}(\mathcal{A})} and VG(B)R=RCh(B)\mathrm{VG}(\mathcal{B})_R=R^{\mathrm{Ch}(\mathcal{B})} for their Varchenko–Gelfand algebras equipped with the filtrations generated by products of at most pp Heaviside functions. Let T(A)\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{A}) and T(B)\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{B}) denote their tope graphs. Yagi–Yoshinaga's conjecture. If

VG(A)RVG(B)R\mathrm{VG}(\mathcal{A})_R\cong \mathrm{VG}(\mathcal{B})_R

as filtered RR-algebras, then

T(A)T(B).\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{A})\cong \mathcal{T}(\mathcal{B}).

This conjecture asserts that, over an integral domain of characteristic different from 22, the filtered Varchenko–Gelfand algebra determines the tope graph and hence the underlying oriented-matroid chamber structure up to isomorphism. The result is known for arrangements generic in codimension 22, while the non-generic case remains open because odd rank-two pencils can produce additional degree-one idempotents, or generalized Heaviside functions.
