Title: On the Monodromy of Hyperplane Arrangements

Abstract: we will discuss the main open question in
this area, namely whether the combinatorics of the
intersection lattice determines the monodromy operator
of the Milnor fiber of a central, complex hyperplane
arrangement. Some results will be stated in a way
showing that both answers seem at this stage equally
possible.
