Partial-order conjecture for ribbon rational homology cobordism
Partial-order conjecture for ribbon rational homology cobordism
A ribbon -homology cobordism is a rational homology cobordism between closed, oriented, connected 3-manifolds admitting a handle decomposition with only 1- and 2-handles.
Ribbon rational homology cobordism conjecture. If there exists a ribbon -homology cobordism from to and one from to , then and are diffeomorphic; equivalently, ribbon -homology cobordism is a partial order.
This is presented as the 3-manifold analogue of Gordon's ribbon-concordance conjecture. The general statement remains open.
