Unbounded handle complexity conjecture for connected sums of the Poincaré sphere
Unbounded handle complexity conjecture for connected sums of the Poincaré sphere
Let , where is the Poincaré homology sphere. A bounding four-manifold for is a four-manifold whose boundary is . Unbounded handle complexity conjecture. The minimum number of handles in any bounding four-manifold for goes to infinity as goes to infinity. This would generalize the paper's lower bounds for the numbers of -, -, and -handles, and concerns the complexity of bounding four-manifolds even though bounds an integer homology ball.
