The L-space homology-sphere classification conjecture

A rational homology 3-sphere YY is an L-space if the rank of its Heegaard Floer homology group HF^(Y)\widehat{\operatorname{HF}}(Y) equals the order of H1(Y;Z)H_1(Y;\mathbb{Z}). 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 YY is an irreducible homology sphere that is an L-space, then YY is homeomorphic to either S3S^3 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 S3S^3 and for all Seifert fibered spaces, but remains open in general.
