Bourgeois–Ekholm–Eliashberg cyclic surgery conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let WW be a Liouville cobordism corresponding to attaching ℓ≥1\ell\ge 1 critical handles of index k=nk=n along a collection Λ\Lambda of disjoint Legendrian spheres. Let LHcyc(Λ)∗L{\mathbb H}^{\text{cyc}}(\Lambda)_* denote the cyclic Legendrian contact homology group associated with Λ\Lambda. With rational coefficients, there is an isomorphism

SH∗S1,>0(W,∂−W)≅LHcyc(Λ)∗.SH_*^{S^1,>0}(W,\partial^-W)\cong L{\mathbb H}^{\text{cyc}}(\Lambda)_*.

Bourgeois–Ekholm–Eliashberg cyclic surgery conjecture. Under this isomorphism, the surgery exact triangle for cyclic Legendrian contact homology is identified with the exact triangle of the pair (V′,V)(V',V) for SH∗S1,>0SH_*^{S^1,>0}. This is the S1S^1-equivariant, positive symplectic-homology formulation of the critical-handle surgery statement; the source presents it as conjectural because the underlying surgery exact triangle was not yet fully proved.
