The correspondence conjecture for transverse-link and branched-cover contact invariants
The correspondence conjecture for transverse-link and branched-cover contact invariants
Let be a transverse representative of an alternating smooth link. Write for the transverse-link invariant in reduced Khovanov homology, let be the contact structure on the branched double cover , and let be its Heegaard Floer contact invariant. Let denote the image of in the corresponding subquotient of the associated graded group, namely . The Ozsváth–Szabó spectral sequence identifies the reduced Khovanov homology of with the associated graded group of . Correspondence conjecture. If is a transverse representative of an alternating smooth link, then the homological grading of is the same as the filtration level of , and this filtration level is . Moreover, under the isomorphism between and the associated graded group of , one has \. This conjecture proposes a precise relationship between the transverse Khovanov invariant and the Heegaard Floer contact invariant; the stated grading and identification remain the conjectural content here.
