L-space conjecture of Boyer, Gordon and Watson
L-space conjecture of Boyer, Gordon and Watson
Let be a closed, connected, irreducible, orientable -manifold. An L-space is a rational homology -sphere whose Heegaard Floer homology has minimal possible rank. The fundamental group is left-orderable when it admits a strict total order invariant under left multiplication.
Boyer–Gordon–Watson L-space conjecture. is not an L-space if and only if is left-orderable.
This conjecture relates Heegaard Floer homology to an algebraic property of the fundamental group and is used in the paper to strengthen consequences for periodic L-space knots. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
