The eternal quotient dichotomy for symplectic cohomology

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let WW be a convex-at-infinity symplectic manifold. For each contact isotopy φt\varphi_t, let HF(φt)\mathrm{HF}(\varphi_t) denote its Floer cohomology, and let SHe(W)\mathrm{SH}^{e}(W) be the subspace of SH(W)\mathrm{SH}(W) generated by elements lying in the image of HF(φt)→SH(W)\mathrm{HF}(\varphi_t)\to\mathrm{SH}(W) for every contact isotopy φt\varphi_t. The quotient SH(W)/SHe(W)\mathrm{SH}(W)/\mathrm{SH}^{e}(W) is either zero or infinite dimensional. This dichotomy extends the aspherical case, where the quotient vanishes if and only if SH(W)\mathrm{SH}(W) vanishes; the conjecture concerns the possible presence of holomorphic spheres and the resulting quantum corrections.
