Integral homology sphere splice-diagram conjecture
Integral homology sphere splice-diagram conjecture
Let be a Gorenstein normal surface singularity whose link is an integral homology sphere, meaning . Let be its splice diagram. Integral homology sphere splice-diagram conjecture. The singularity is a complete intersection, satisfies the semigroup condition, its equations are equisingular deformations of the splice-diagram equations, and the Casson invariant of is one-eighth the signature of the Milnor fibre of . 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.
