The genus-independence conjecture for the monopole Floer Legendrian invariant

About 15 years old · traced to

Let K⊂(Y,ξ) \mathcal{K}\subset(Y,\xi) be a Legendrian knot, and let ℓg(K)∈KHM(−Y,K)⊗R \ell_g(\mathcal{K})\in KHM(-Y,K)\otimes\mathcal{R} denote the invariant constructed using a closure of genus gg, for g≥2g\geq2. Genus-independence conjecture. The elements ℓg(K) \ell_g(\mathcal{K}), g≥2g\geq2, are all equal as elements of KHM(−Y,K)⊗RKHM(-Y,K)\otimes\mathcal{R} up to automorphism. This would show that the construction is independent of the auxiliary closure genus, up to the natural ambiguity from automorphisms. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
