Integral homology sphere splice-diagram conjecture

From papers

Let (X,o)(X,o) be a Gorenstein normal surface singularity whose link MM is an integral homology sphere, meaning H1(M;Z)={0}H_1(M;{\mathbb Z})=\{0\}. Let Δ\Delta be its splice diagram. Integral homology sphere splice-diagram conjecture. The singularity XX is a complete intersection, Δ\Delta satisfies the semigroup condition, its equations are equisingular deformations of the splice-diagram equations, and the Casson invariant of MM is one-eighth the signature of the Milnor fibre of XX. This is the specialization of the paper's broader conjectural picture to integral homology sphere links; the source presents it as a conjecture and cites related work for the Casson-invariant formula.
