Residual representability of the Heegaard category

About 36 years old · traced to

Let H{\cal H} be the Heegaard category, and let T(V)T(V) denote the relevant target associated with a vector space VV. Residual representability conjecture. If aa and bb are distinct elements of H{\cal H}, there exists a vector space VV and a morphism

m:H→T(V)m:{\cal H}\to T(V)

such that m(a)≠m(b)m(a)\ne m(b). This would provide a computationally effective separation of distinct elements of the Heegaard category, strengthening its role in distinguishing closed 33-manifolds; the supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
