Well-definedness of Kronheimer–Mrowka's foam evaluation algorithm
Well-definedness of Kronheimer–Mrowka's foam evaluation algorithm
Let be a closed pre-foam. Kronheimer–Mrowka's algorithm defines an element by first resolving seam vertices using a chosen perfect matching when the seam graph is bipartite, and then applying the remaining reduction and evaluation rules.
Kronheimer–Mrowka's well-definedness conjecture. The quantity is well-defined: it does not depend on the choices made in the seam-vertex cancellation step.
This asserts that the evaluation algorithm gives an invariant of the closed pre-foam despite the choice of perfect matching used to cancel seam vertices. The supplied text does not state whether this claim has been proved or disproved.
