The instanton Poincaré conjecture
Let be a connected, closed, oriented -manifold, and let denote its framed instanton homology over the field with two elements. Instanton Poincaré conjecture. The -sphere is the only such manifold satisfying
This is proposed as an instanton analogue of the Poincaré conjecture, motivated by the fact that the framed instanton homology of the Poincaré sphere has -torsion over the integers. The supplied text does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
