Cubications versus immersions' conjecture
Cubications versus immersions' conjecture
Let be a closed -manifold. A marked cubical decomposition of is a cubical decomposition together with the marking data used to distinguish its cubical cells, and two such decompositions are equivalent modulo cubical flips. Let denote the cobordism group of codimension-one immersions into : its elements are cobordism classes of immersions from closed -manifolds, with disjoint union as the group operation. Cubications versus immersions' conjecture. The set of marked cubical decompositions of the closed manifold modulo cubical flips is in bijection with the elements of the cobordism group of codimension-one immersions into . The conjecture seeks a complete algebraic-topological classification of cubical decompositions under flip equivalence; the source states that half of it was proved, while the conjecture's solution would give a satisfactory answer to Habegger's problem.
