We prove that every [Formula: see text]H-thin link has no text]-torsion for text] in its Khovanov homology. Together with previous results by Lee [The support of the Khovanov’s invariants alternating knots, preprint (2002), arXiv:math.GT/0201105; An endomorphism invariant, Adv.

Motivated by Akbulut-Larson's construction of Brieskorn spheres bounding rational homology 4-balls, we explore plumbed 3-manifolds that bound circles and use them to construct infinite families 3-spheres 4-balls. Some these are new examples integer but do not In particular, find torus bundles over the circle circles, provide a simple method for constructing more general show that, example, $-1$...
