The adjacency injection conjecture for discriminant-complement groups
Let and be singular functions such that is adjacent to , so that a versal unfolding of is also a versal unfolding for . Let and be the corresponding Milnor numbers, and write and for the discriminant complements in the respective parameter spaces. Adjacency injection conjecture. The natural map
is injective, fitting into the commutative diagram with the free groups and displayed in the source. This conjecture concerns how fundamental groups behave under adjacency of singular functions; the source presents it as a speculation and gives no resolution.
