Greedy matching conjecture for delooped Khovanov complexes
Greedy matching conjecture for delooped Khovanov complexes
Let be a tangle diagram, let be its delooped Khovanov complex, and let be the greedy partial matching on the graph .
Greedy matching conjecture. For any tangle diagram , the greedy matching is a Morse matching on the delooped Khovanov complex .
The construction automatically satisfies the finiteness, matching, and isomorphism conditions of discrete Morse theory; the unresolved issue is the absence of directed cycles. The claim would imply acyclicity of the greedy matching for every tangle diagram.
