Vassiliev's first-term stabilization conjecture for the long-knot spectral sequence

Let l:R1Rdl:{\mathbb R}^1\hookrightarrow{\mathbb R}^d be a fixed non-trivial linear map, let K{\mathcal K} be the affine space of smooth maps R1Rd{\mathbb R}^1\to{\mathbb R}^d agreeing with ll outside a compact set, and let ΣK\Sigma\subset{\mathcal K} be the discriminant of non-injective or singular maps. Let σ\sigma be the simplicial resolution of Σ\Sigma, with filtration

=σ0σ1σ2.\emptyset=\sigma_0\subset\sigma_1\subset\sigma_2\subset\dots.

Vassiliev's stabilization conjecture. The spectral sequence associated with this filtration and computing the Borel–Moore homology groups of the resolution σ\sigma stabilizes over Q\mathbb Q in the first term. This concerns the spectral sequence used to compute the homology of the resolved discriminant, and the conjecture gives a particularly simple form of its convergence behavior.
