Greedy matching conjecture for torus braids
Greedy matching conjecture for torus braids
Let be integers, let be the -strand torus braid represented by , and let be the greedy matching on the graph of the delooped Khovanov complex.
Greedy matching conjecture. The greedy matching is a Morse matching for all torus braids, that is, the graphs
contain no directed cycles for all .
The greedy matching is known to be acyclic for the 2-, 3-, and 4-strand torus braids discussed in the paper, but its acyclicity for arbitrary numbers of strands remains open.
