Greene–Owens cubiquity conjecture for double branched covers
Let be a non-split alternating link in , let denote the double cover of branched along , and let be the positive definite lattice associated to .
Greene–Owens cubiquity conjecture. bounds a rational homology -ball if and only if is cubiquitous.
Greene–Owens proved the forward implication: if bounds a rational homology ball, then is cubiquitous. The conjecture asserts that cubiquity is also sufficient for the branched double cover to bound a rational homology -ball.
