The minus immersed-curve pairing conjecture

Let M1M_1 and M2M_2 be manifolds with torus boundary, and let ϕ:M1M2\phi:\partial M_1\to\partial M_2 be an orientation-reversing gluing map. Let HF(Mi)\mathit{HF}^{-}(M_i) denote the decorated immersed curves associated to MiM_i, and let HF\mathcal{HF} denote their Floer-theoretic pairing. Minus immersed-curve pairing conjecture. If M1M_1 and M2M_2 are manifolds with torus boundary and ϕ\phi is an orientation-reversing gluing map, then

HF(M1ϕM2)HF(ϕ(HF(M1)),HF(M2)).\mathit{HF}^{-}(M_1\cup_\phi M_2)\cong\mathcal{HF}\bigl(\phi(\mathit{HF}^{-}(M_1)),\mathit{HF}^{-}(M_2)\bigr).

This would give a general pairing theorem for the proposed minus bordered invariants. It is conditional on the immersed curves being bordered invariants and is presented as an expected future result.
