The Boyer–Gordon–Watson–Juhász -space conjecture
The Boyer–Gordon–Watson–Juhász -space conjecture
Let be an irreducible rational homology sphere. A three-manifold is an -space when its Heegaard Floer module is free, and a group is left-orderable when it admits an ordering such that
The -space conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:
- is an -space, that is, is free.
- does not support a taut foliation.
- has no left-ordering.
This conjecture relates the Heegaard Floer module of a rational homology sphere to taut foliations and the orderability of its fundamental group. It is known for graph manifolds and several other families, but remains open in general.
