The L-space homology-sphere classification conjecture
The L-space homology-sphere classification conjecture
A rational homology 3-sphere is an L-space if the rank of its Heegaard Floer homology group equals the order of . An irreducible homology sphere is one that cannot be expressed as a nontrivial connected sum, and an incompressible torus is an embedded torus whose inclusion induces an injective map on fundamental groups. L-space homology-sphere classification conjecture. If is an irreducible homology sphere that is an L-space, then is homeomorphic to either or the Poincaré homology sphere. Thus, the conjecture predicts that L-spaces with the homology of the 3-sphere are connected sums of zero or more copies of the Poincaré sphere, with either orientation. It is known for manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery on knots in and for all Seifert fibered spaces, but remains open in general.
