The closed-foam evaluation conjecture for instanton homology
The closed-foam evaluation conjecture for instanton homology
Let be a closed foam in , and let be its underlying closed pre-foam. Let denote the instanton-homological evaluation of , and let be the evaluation defined by the proposed pre-foam rules. The closed-foam evaluation conjecture. For every such closed foam,
This conjecture would identify the instanton-homological evaluation of closed foams with the combinatorial pre-foam evaluation. It is presented as one of two plausible conjectures arising from the unresolved well-definedness issue, and no proof or disproof is given in the supplied text.
