The chain-level link invariant functoriality conjecture
The chain-level link invariant functoriality conjecture
Let be the -category of links in , link cobordisms in , isotopies, and higher isotopies. Let be the -category of bounded chain complexes, chain maps, homotopies, and higher homotopies. Write for the chain-level link invariant from the cited construction.
Chain-level functoriality conjecture. The chain-level link invariant arises as the truncation of an -monoidal functor
This would promote the usual chain-level link invariant to homotopy-coherent functoriality, including coherence for isotopies and higher isotopies. The parser supplies no evidence that the statement has been proved or disproved, so its status remains open.
