Daemi–Lidman–Vela-Vick–Wong rational homology ribbon cobordism partial-order conjecture
Let and be closed, connected, oriented -manifolds. A rational homology ribbon cobordism from to is a ribbon cobordism from to such that the inclusions and induce isomorphisms on rational homology groups. Write when such a cobordism exists. Daemi–Lidman–Vela-Vick–Wong's conjecture. The preorder on the set of homeomorphism classes of closed, connected, oriented -manifolds given by rational homology ribbon cobordism is a partial order: if
then and are homeomorphic. The paper proves this conjecture for all closed, connected, oriented -manifolds, extending earlier results for aspherical manifolds and the irreducible case.
