Handle-decomposition independence conjecture for sutured instanton cobordism maps
Handle-decomposition independence conjecture for sutured instanton cobordism maps
Let be a sutured submanifold of , and let be a contact structure on with dividing set . Given a contact-handle decomposition of this cobordism, let
be the corresponding composition of contact handle attachment maps. Handle-independence conjecture. The map is independent of . This would make the map depend only on the contact structure , as in the corresponding constructions in sutured Heegaard Floer and monopole homology.
