Floer-theoretic fibred Dehn twist exact sequence conjecture

About 20 years old · traced to

Suppose that (M,ω)(M,\omega) and (Mˉ,ωˉ)(\bar{M},\bar{\omega}) are symplectic, that ρ ⁣:V→Mˉ\rho\colon V\to\bar{M} is an SkS^k-bundle with structure group SO⁡(k+1)\operatorname{SO}(k+1), and that i ⁣:V↪Mi\colon V\hookrightarrow M is an embedding with i∗ω=ρ∗ωˉi^*\omega=\rho^*\bar{\omega}. Let ϕ∈Aut⁡(M,ω)\phi\in\operatorname{Aut}(M,\omega) preserve VV and cover ϕˉ∈Aut⁡(Mˉ,ωˉ)\bar{\phi}\in\operatorname{Aut}(\bar{M},\bar{\omega}). Let e=e(V)∩⋅e=e(V)\cap\cdot be the Euler-class endomorphism of HF∗(ϕˉ)HF_*(\bar{\phi}), and let cone⁡(e)\operatorname{cone}(e) be its mapping cone. Under the monotonicity and minimal-Maslov-index hypotheses ensuring that the maps aa and bb are defined, there are maps a ⁣:H∗cone⁡(e)→HF∗(ϕ)a\colon H_*\operatorname{cone}(e)\to HF_*(\phi) and b ⁣:HF∗(ϕ)→HF∗(ϕ∘τV)b\colon HF_*(\phi)\to HF_*(\phi\circ\tau_V).

Fibred Dehn twist exact sequence conjecture. Under conditions which render aa and bb well-defined, they fit into a long exact sequence

H∗cone⁡(e)→aHF∗(ϕ)→bHF∗(ϕ∘τV)⟶H∗−1cone⁡(e).H_*\operatorname{cone}(e)\xrightarrow{a}HF_*(\phi)\xrightarrow{b}HF_*(\phi\circ\tau_V)\longrightarrow H_{*-1}\operatorname{cone}(e).

This is presented as a speculative consequence for Floer homology and is the subject of work in progress. The stated construction gives the maps under suitable monotonicity and minimal Maslov index assumptions, but the exactness assertion remains open.
