In this paper we give weak regularity conditions that ensure maximal monotonicity for the operator S+A*TA, where S :X => X* and T :Y => Y* are two maximal monotone operators, A : X -> Y is a linear and continuous mapping and X,Y are separable Asplund spaces. In particular, it follows that Rockafellar's conjecture is true in these spaces.
