Order 2 Algebraically Slice Knots
The concordance group of algebraically slice knots is the subgroup of the classical knot concordance group formed by algebraically slice knots. Results of Casson and Gordon and of Jiang showed that this group contains in infinitely generated free (abelian) subgroup. Here it is shown that the concordance group of algebraically slice knots also contain elements of finite order; in fact it contain...
متن کاملSplitting 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 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 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...
متن کاملOn Equivariant Slice Knots
We suggest a method to detect that two periodic knots are not equivariantly concordant, using surgery on factor links. We construct examples which satisfy all known necessary conditions for equivariant slice knots — Naik’s and Choi-Ko-Song’s improvements of classical results on Seifert forms and Casson-Gordon invariants of slice knots — but are not equivariantly slice. Introduction An oriented ...
