Gluing conjecture for Fukaya-category bimodules of sutured manifolds

Let F,F,FF,F',F” be connected Riemann surfaces and let ZZ be a finite subset of the identified boundaries. Let Y1,Y2Y_1,Y_2 be sutured manifolds with

Y1=(F)F,Y2=(F)F,\partial Y_1=(-F)\cup F',\qquad \partial Y_2=(-F')\cup F”,

and let Y=Y1FY2Y=Y_1\cup_{F'}Y_2 be obtained by gluing Y1Y_1 and Y2Y_2 along FF'. Equip F,F,FF,F',F” with collections of disjoint properly embedded arcs α,α,α\underline{\alpha},\underline{\alpha}',\underline{\alpha}”, and suppose that α\underline{\alpha}' decomposes FF' into discs, each containing at most one point of ZZ. Gluing conjecture. There is a quasi-isomorphism of AA_\infty-bimodules

Y(TY)Y(TY1)A(F,k)Y(TY2).\mathcal{Y}(\mathbb{T}_{Y})\simeq \mathcal{Y}(\mathbb{T}_{Y_1})\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(\mathbb{F}',k')}\mathcal{Y}(\mathbb{T}_{Y_2}).

This conjecture predicts that the bimodule associated with a glued sutured manifold is obtained by tensoring the bimodules associated with its two pieces over the Fukaya-category algebra of the gluing surface. It is presented as an expected gluing property, and the supplied source gives no resolution.
