Splitting the Concordance Group of Algebraically Slice Knots
As a corollary of work of Ozsváth and Szabó, it is shown that the classical concordance group of algebraically slice knots has an infinite cyclic summand and in particular is not a divisible group. Let A denote the concordance group of algebraically slice knots, the kernel of Levine’s homomorphism φ : C → G, where C is the classical knot concordance group and G is Levine’s algebraic concordance...
متن کاملThe Structure of the Rational Concordance Group of Knots
We study the group of rational concordance classes of codimension two knots in rational homology spheres. We give a full calculation of its algebraic theory by developing a complete set of new invariants. For computation, we relate these invariants with limiting behaviour of the Artin reciprocity over an infinite tower of number fields and analyze it using tools from algebraic number theory. In...
متن کاملThe Concordance Genus of Knots
In knot concordance three genera arise naturally, g(K), g4(K), and gc(K): these are the classical genus, the 4–ball genus, and the concordance genus, defined to be the minimum genus among all knots concordant to K. Clearly 0 ≤ g4(K) ≤ gc(K) ≤ g(K). Casson and Nakanishi gave examples to show that g4(K) need not equal gc(K). We begin by reviewing and extending their results. For knots representin...
متن کاملStable Concordance of Knots in 3–manifolds
Knots and links in 3-manifolds are studied by applying intersection invariants to singular concordances. The resulting link invariants generalize the Arf invariant, the mod 2 Sato-Levine invariants, and Milnor’s triple linking numbers. Besides fitting into a general theory of Whitney towers, these invariants provide obstructions to the existence of a singular concordance which can be homotoped ...
متن کاملVirtual Knots and Links
This paper is an introduction to the subject of virtual knot theory, combined with a discussion of some specific new theorems about virtual knots. The new results are as follows: We prove, using a 3-dimensional topology approach that if a connected sum of two virtual knots K1 and K2 is trivial, then so are both K1 and K2. We establish an algorithm, using Haken-Matveev technique, for recognizing...
