Linking and hull containment conjecture for elliptic and hyperbolic components

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let K1K_1 be an elliptic component and K2K_2 a hyperbolic component of a link L=K1∪K2L=K_1\cup K_2, and let MM be the embedded manifold whose holomorphic hull is denoted by M^\widehat{M}. The linking number is ℓk(K1,K2)\ell k(K_1,K_2). Linking and hull containment conjecture. If

ℓk(K1,K2)≠0,\ell k(K_1,K_2)\neq 0,

then

K2⊂M^.K_2\subset\widehat{M}.

If ℓk(K1,K2)=0\ell k(K_1,K_2)=0, then

K2⊄M^.K_2\not\subset\widehat{M}.

This conjecture proposes that nonzero linking with an elliptic component forces the hyperbolic component into the holomorphic hull, whereas zero linking excludes it. The source provides no resolution status.
