Generalized correction-term bounds and the diagonal intersection form conjecture
Let be a rational homology sphere with . Suppose that bounds a negative-definite four-manifold whose first homology has no torsion. Write for the correction term associated to a structure, and let denote the diagonal intersection form of rank . Generalized correction-term bounds conjecture. One should have
and
If equality holds in either inequality, then the intersection form of is . The statement is presented as a consequence of Conjectures and; the supplied text gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
