Handle-decomposition independence of the sutured monopole Floer contact map
Handle-decomposition independence of the sutured monopole Floer contact map
Let be a sutured contact manifold contained in , and let be a contact structure on with dividing set . For a contact handle decomposition of , let
be the corresponding composition of contact handle attachment maps. Handle-decomposition independence conjecture. The map is independent of the handle decomposition . This would make the monopole Floer analogue of the sutured Floer contact cobordism map canonical, rather than dependent on auxiliary handle-decomposition choices. The source does not state a resolution.
