Functoriality conjecture for marked link Floer homology
Functoriality conjecture for marked link Floer homology
Let be marked links, and let a marked surface be a smoothly embedded surface in four-space with boundary .
Functoriality conjecture. Link Floer homology is functorial with respect to marked smooth isotopy classes of surfaces embedded in four-space: a marked surface with boundary induces a map
and two different marked surfaces that are isotopic induce identical maps.
This conjecture seeks a marked-surface analogue of the functoriality of Khovanov homology under smooth isotopy classes of orientable surfaces in four-space, addressing the role of markings in making link Floer homology maps well defined.
