Zhang's SU(2)-abelian rational homology sphere conjecture

Let YY be a rational homology 33-sphere. Call YY SU(2)SU(2)-abelian if every representation π1(Y)SU(2)\pi_1(Y)\to SU(2) has abelian image. Zhang's conjecture. If YY is SU(2)SU(2)-abelian, then YY is a Heegaard Floer L-space. This conjecture predicts that the absence of irreducible SU(2)SU(2)-representations forces the simplest possible Heegaard Floer homology. The paper proves the claim for the graph manifolds under consideration, but the general conjecture remains open.
