Cohomological dimension conjecture for the diagrammatic Clifford category

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let d535ad535a and d535bd535b be objects of the diagrammatic category d538d538. Write d535ad53fd535ad53f and d535bd53fd535bd53f for the corresponding dividing sets in the contact category, and call a dividing set d535bd53fd535bd53f stackable over d535ad53fd535ad53f when the corresponding contact-category morphism space is nonzero.

Cohomological dimension conjecture. For d535a,d535b∈E(CL)d535a,d535b\in\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{CL}),

dim⁡F2H∗(Hom⁡CL(a,b))={1if b‾ is stackable over a‾,0otherwise.\operatorname{dim}_{\mathbb{F}_2}H^*(\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal{CL}}(\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b}))=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }\overline{\mathbf{b}}\text{ is stackable over }\overline{\mathbf{a}},\\0&\text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

The conjecture predicts that the cohomology of every morphism complex in the diagrammatic category has dimension at most one, with nonvanishing exactly when the corresponding contact structures are related by a nonzero morphism. It is motivated by the uniqueness theorem for tight contact structures on the three-dimensional ball, but the authors state that the required bases and cohomology computations are not known.
