The adjunction inequality for the Rasmussen invariant in negative-definite four-manifolds
Let for some . Let be a link, and let be a properly, smoothly embedded oriented surface with no closed components such that . The notation , , and denotes the homology class of , its norm as used in the paper, and its self-intersection, respectively.
Adjunction conjecture for .
This extends the Ozsváth–Szabó adjunction inequality for and the paper's previously established null-homologous case to arbitrary properly embedded surfaces in punctured connected sums of negative complex projective planes. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
