The BF blowup simple type and homogeneous type conjecture

Let XX be a closed, smooth, oriented 44-manifold with b2+(X)2b_2^+(X)\geq 2. The Bauer–Furuta invariant has BF blowup simple type and XX is of BF homogeneous type. This conjecture extends the Seiberg–Witten simple type conjecture to Bauer–Furuta invariants; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
