Consequently, the deep locus is empty if and only if any two components of the braid closure are unlinked. This resolves Conjecture 4.45 of Castronovo, Gorsky, Simental, and Speyer.","category":"research","comments":0,"disputed":false,"division":"math","mentions":0,"discussed":0,"published":"2026-11-03","reactions":{},"withdrawn":false,"authorship":"mixed","formalized":false,"human_understanding":"some"}
