The L-space conjecture for irreducible 3-manifolds
The L-space conjecture for irreducible 3-manifolds
Let be a closed, connected, irreducible, orientable -manifold. A Heegaard Floer -space is a rational homology -sphere with minimal Heegaard Floer homology; a co-orientable taut foliation is a taut foliation whose normal bundle is orientable; and a group is left-orderable if it admits a strict total order invariant under left multiplication.
L-space conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:
\text{$M$ is not a Heegaard Floer $L$-space$}, \text{$M$ admits a co-orientable taut foliation$},This conjecture seeks to relate Heegaard Floer homology, taut foliations, and orderability of fundamental groups. The paper proves it for irreducible -manifolds admitting genus-one open book decompositions with connected binding, but it remains open in general.
