The vanishing of the framing correction in higher degrees
The vanishing of the framing correction in higher degrees
Let be the framing correction for the invariant of a homology -sphere decorated with a framing or bundled bordism. Vanishing conjecture for the framing correction. The framing correction vanishes for every :
If true, only the degree-one term would require a framing correction, so the higher-degree parts of the unframed invariant would agree directly with the decorated invariant. The source does not provide a proof or resolution of this conjecture.
