The trisection classification conjecture for the standard four-sphere
The trisection classification conjecture for the standard four-sphere
Let be a trisection of the standard smooth four-sphere . Let denote its standard -trisection, and let denote the trisection obtained from by performing -stabilizations for . Trisection classification conjecture. Every trisection of is isotopic to or one of its stabilizations . This is proposed as a four-dimensional analogue of Waldhausen's theorem for ; the source notes that it is likely false, and gives no resolution here.
