Uniqueness conjecture for generalized bridge trisections with fixed underlying trisection
Uniqueness conjecture for generalized bridge trisections with fixed underlying trisection
Let be a pair consisting of a 4-manifold and a knotted surface, and fix a trisection of . A generalized bridge trisection of is compared with another one by perturbation and unperturbation moves, where a perturbation is a finite sequence of elementary perturbations. Uniqueness conjecture. Any two generalized bridge trisections for with the same underlying trisection for become isotopic after a finite sequence of perturbations and unperturbations. This extends the known uniqueness result for bridge trisections of knotted surfaces in to generalized bridge trisections in the setting of a fixed underlying trisection of .
