Three-component link-map connectivity conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

Let P1P_1, P2P_2, and P3P_3 be manifolds of dimensions p1p_1, p2p_2, and p3p_3, respectively, and let NN be an nn-dimensional manifold. For a basepoint in the image of Link⁡(P1,P2,P3;N)\operatorname{Link}(P_1,P_2,P_3;N), let l3l_3 be the map from the homotopy fiber of the comparison with T2Link⁡(P1,P2,P3;N)\mathcal{T}_2\operatorname{Link}(P_1,P_2,P_3;N) to the loop space of the corresponding cobordism space.

Three-component connectivity conjecture. The map l3l_3 is (3n−max⁡{2p1+p2+p3,p1+2p2+p3,p1+p2+2p3}−5)(3n-\max\{2p_1+p_2+p_3,p_1+2p_2+p_3,p_1+p_2+2p_3\}-5)-connected.

The source presents this as an analogue of the two-component connectivity conjecture and says that a future paper will address it. No resolution is given.
