2 00 3 All frame - spun knots are slice
Frame-spun knots are constructed by spinning a knot of lower dimension about a framed submanifold of S n. We show that all frame-spun knots are slice (null-cobordant).
متن کاملWhich Finite Simple Knots Are Twist-spun?
We investigate which simple even-dimensional knots with finite knot modules may arise as twist-spun simple knots; and give some examples of knots which cannot so arise for reasons which are essentially number-theoretic.
متن کاملTwisting Spun Knots
1. Introduction. In [5] Mazur constructed a homotopy 4-sphere which looked like one of the strongest candidates for a counterexample to the 4-dimensional Poincaré Conjecture. In this paper we show that Mazur's example is in fact a true 4-sphere after all. This raises the odds in favour of the 4-dimensional Poincaré Conjecture. The proof involves a smooth knot of S2 in S4 with unusual properties.
متن کاملOn the Reversibility of Twist-spun Knots
Litherland has shown that if a knot is (+)-amphicheiral then its m-twist-spin is reversible. We show that, for classical knots, in many cases the converse holds. The irreversibility (sometimes called noninvertibility) of certain twist-spun knots has been established by Ruberman [10], using the Farber-Levine linking pairing and the Casson-Gordon invariants. More recently, alternative proofs of t...
متن کاملNew topologically slice knots
In the early 1980’s Mike Freedman showed that all knots with trivial Alexander polynomial are topologically slice (with fundamental group Z). This paper contains the first new examples of topologically slice knots. In fact, we give a sufficient homological condition under which a knot is slice with fundamental group Z ⋉ Z[1/2]. These two fundamental groups are known to be the only solvable ribb...
