Baldwin–Levine conjecture on mutation invariance of delta-graded link Floer homology

About 10 years old · traced to

Let LL be a link and let L′L' be obtained from LL by Conway mutation. Write HFL^⁡(L)\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}(L) and HFL^⁡(L′)\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}(L') for their link Floer homologies, with the bigrading collapsed to a single Z\mathbb{Z}-grading called the δ\delta-grading. Baldwin–Levine conjecture. The δ\delta-graded groups HFL^⁡(L)\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}(L) and HFL^⁡(L′)\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}(L') agree; in other words, δ\delta-graded link Floer homology is invariant under Conway mutation. This conjecture proposes a mutation-invariant version of link Floer homology, despite knot and link Floer homology not being invariant under mutation in general. The source gives no resolution status.
