2 00 3 All frame - spun knots are slice
نویسنده
چکیده
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).

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 ribbon...
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 Obstructions to Doubly Slicing Knots
A knot in the 3-sphere is called doubly slice if it is a slice of an unknotted 2-sphere in the 4-sphere. We give a bi-sequence of new obstructions for a knot being doubly slice. We construct it following the idea of Cochran-Orr-Teichner’s filtration of the classical knot concordance group. This yields a bi-filtration of the monoid of knots (under the connected sum operation) indexed by pairs of...

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.
