Cornwell–Ng–Sivek conjecture on a non-decomposable satellite Lagrangian concordance

Let Λ\Lambda_{-} and Λ+\Lambda_{+} be the Legendrian knots described in the satellite construction, and let PJ1S1P\subset J^1S^1 be the Legendrian clasp tangle used to form their satellites. The satellite construction produces a Lagrangian concordance from S(Λ,P)S(\Lambda_{-},P) to S(Λ+,P)S(\Lambda_{+},P). Cornwell–Ng–Sivek's conjecture. The Lagrangian concordance from S(Λ,P)S(\Lambda_{-},P) to S(Λ+,P)S(\Lambda_{+},P) built through the satellite construction is not decomposable. This conjecture gives a negative answer to the motivating question of whether every connected Lagrangian cobordism admits a decomposable representative; it is attributed to Cornwell, Ng, and Sivek and remains unresolved in the supplied source.
