The conjectural equivalence of sutured instanton and Heegaard Floer homology

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let (M,γ)(M,\gamma) be a balanced sutured manifold. Write SHI(M,γ)SHI(M,\gamma) for sutured instanton homology and SFH(M,γ)SFH(M,\gamma) for sutured Heegaard Floer homology. For a knot KK in a closed oriented 33-manifold YY, write I♯(Y)I^{\sharp}(Y) for framed instanton Floer homology, HF^(Y)\widehat{HF}(Y) for the hat version of Heegaard Floer homology, KHI(Y,K)KHI(Y,K) for instanton knot homology, and HFK^(Y,K)\widehat{HFK}(Y,K) for the hat version of knot Floer homology.

Sutured instanton–Heegaard Floer equivalence conjecture. For every balanced sutured manifold (M,γ)(M,\gamma), there is an isomorphism

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

In particular, for every knot KK in a closed oriented 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}\qquad\text{and}\qquad KHI(Y,K)\cong \widehat{HFK}(Y,K)\otimes\mathbb{C}.

Sutured Heegaard Floer homology is known to be isomorphic to sutured monopole homology, but the relation between sutured instanton homology and the other Floer theories remains open.
