The instanton–Heegaard Floer correspondence conjecture

Let (M,γ)(M,\gamma) be a balanced sutured manifold. Write SHISHI for sutured instanton Floer homology, SFHSFH for sutured Heegaard Floer homology, II^{\sharp} for framed instanton Floer homology, HF^\widehat{HF} for the hat version of Heegaard Floer homology, KHIKHI for instanton knot homology, and HFK^\widehat{HFK} for Heegaard knot Floer homology. Instanton–Heegaard Floer correspondence conjecture. There are isomorphisms

SHI(M,γ)SFH(M,γ)C.SHI(M,\gamma)\cong SFH(M,\gamma)\otimes \mathbb{C}.

In particular, for a knot KK in a closed 33-manifold YY, there are isomorphisms

I(Y)HF^(Y)CandKHI(Y,K)HFK^(Y,K)C.I^{\sharp}(Y)\cong \widehat{HF}(Y)\otimes\mathbb{C}\quad\text{and}\quad KHI(Y,K)\cong \widehat{HFK}(Y,K)\otimes\mathbb{C}.

This would connect instanton Floer homology with the sutured, Heegaard, and knot Floer theories, which are otherwise known to agree with one another in several settings. The source states that this conjecture remains open.
