Generalized instanton surgery exact-triangle conjecture
Let be a closed three-manifold, let be a knot, and let denote the result of -surgery on . Let be the cobordism defined above, and let denote the instanton Floer homology theory. Generalized instanton surgery exact-triangle conjecture. For any integer and any positive integer , there is an exact triangle
\xymatrix@R=6ex{ I^\sharp(Y_n(K))\ar[rr]&&I^\sharp(Y_{n+m}(K))\ar[dl]^{F^\prime}\\ &\bigoplus_{i=1}^m I^\sharp(Y)\ar[ul]& }where the map is related to the cobordism . This would generalize the usual instanton surgery exact triangle; the source explains that the expected proof should adapt the standard proof with modifications, but does not establish the statement.
