Low's conjecture on linked skies

About 1 year old · traced to

Let (X,g)(X,g) be a globally hyperbolic (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional spacetime whose smooth spacelike Cauchy surface has universal cover R2\mathbb{R}^2. The sky of an event is the sphere of light rays passing through that event.

Low Conjecture. The skies of causally related points in XX are topologically linked.

This conjecture was proven by Chernov and Nemirovski; the source says the result holds when the Cauchy surface is not homeomorphic to S2S^2 or RP2\mathbb{R}P^2.
