Juhász's depth bound conjecture for taut foliations

Let (M,γ)(M,\gamma) be a taut balanced sutured manifold with H2(M)=0H_2(M)=0. The sutured Floer homology SFH(M,γ)SFH(M,\gamma) is a finite-dimensional vector space over Z2\mathbb{Z}_2, and let kk be such that

rkZ2(SFH(M,γ))<2k+1.\operatorname{rk}_{\mathbb{Z}_2}(SFH(M,\gamma))<2^{k+1}.

Juhász's conjecture. The sutured manifold (M,γ)(M,\gamma) admits a taut foliation of depth at most 2k2k.

This conjecture seeks a bound on the depth of the taut foliations whose existence was established by Gabai. It relates the complexity of sutured Floer homology to the minimum possible depth, and its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
