Connected sum formula for bent complexes in instanton Floer homology
Connected sum formula for bent complexes in instanton Floer homology
Let for be rationally null-homologous knots. Write for their connected sum, and let denote the bent complexes associated to a knot . Connected sum conjecture for bent complexes. There exist chain homotopy equivalences
This would provide a stronger connected sum formula than the known tensor-product isomorphism for instanton knot Floer homology, by encoding the information in bent complexes. It is motivated by the analogous formula in Heegaard Floer theory and is not resolved in the supplied source.
