Kronheimer's adjunction inequality conjecture for taut foliations on 4-manifolds
Kronheimer's adjunction inequality conjecture for taut foliations on 4-manifolds
Let be a -manifold, let be a taut foliation on , and let be an almost-complex structure induced by . For an embedded surface without sphere components, write for its Euler characteristic, for its self-intersection, and for the pairing with the first Chern class. Kronheimer's conjecture. For every such surface , one has
This would generalize Kronheimer's theorem for product foliations on , where is a closed irreducible -manifold. The analogous statement for general taut foliations on -manifolds is presented as a possible generalization and is not established in the source.
