Knot Concordance and Torsion

The classical knot concordance group, C1, was defined in 1961 by Fox [F]. He proved that it is nontrivial by finding elements of order two; details were presented in [FM]. Since then one of the most vexing questions concerning the concordance group has been whether it contains elements of finite order other than 2–torsion. Interest in this question was heightened by Levine’s proof [L1, L2] that...

Obstructing Four-Torsion in the Classical Knot Concordance Group

In his classification of the knot concordance groups, Levine [L1] defined the algebraic concordance groups, G±, of Witt classes of Seifert matrices and a homomorphism from the odd-dimensional knot concordance groups C4n±1 to G±. The homomorphism is induced by the function that assigns to a knot an associated Seifert matrix: it is an isomorphism on Ck, k ≥ 5; on C3 it is injective, onto an index...

Knot Concordance

We prove the nontriviality at all levels of the filtration of the classical topological knot concordance group C · · · ⊆ Fn ⊆ · · · ⊆ F1 ⊆ F0 ⊆ C. defined in [COT]. This filtration is significant because not only is it strongly connected to Whitney tower constructions of Casson and Freedman, but all previously-known concordance invariants are related to the first few terms in the filtration. In...

Knot Concordance, Whitney Towers and L2-signatures

We construct many examples of non-slice knots in 3-space that cannot be distinguished from slice knots by previously known invariants. Using Whitney towers in place of embedded disks, we define a geometric filtration of the 3-dimensional topological knot concordance group. As special cases of Whitney towers of height less than four, the bottom part of the filtration exhibits all classical conco...

Knot Concordance and Von Neumann Ρ-invariants

We present new results, announced in [T], on the classical knot concordance group C. We establish the nontriviality at all levels of the (n)-solvable filtration · · · ⊆ Fn ⊆ · · · ⊆ F1 ⊆ F0 ⊆ C introduced in [COT1]. Recall that this filtration is significant due to its intimate connection to tower constructions arising in work of A. Casson and M. Freedman on the topological classification probl...
