نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We address primary decomposition conjectures for knot concordance groups, which predict direct sum decompositions into parts. show that the smooth group of topologically slice knots has a large subgroup are true and there infinitely many parts, each infinite rank. This supports knots. also prove analogues associated graded groups bipolar filtration Among ingredients proof, we use amenable $L^2$ -signatures, Ozsváth-Szabó d -invariants Némethi’s result on Heegaard Floer homology Seifert 3-manifolds. In an appendix, present general formulation notion decomposition.

New 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 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 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 کاملTopologically Trivial Legendrian Knots
This paper deals with topologically trivial Legendrian knots in tight and overtwisted contact 3-manifolds. The first parts (Sections 1-3) contain a thorough exposition of the proof of the classification of topologically trivial Legendrian knots (i.e. Legendrian knots bounding embedded 2-disks) in tight contact 3-manifolds (Theorem 1.7), and, in particular, in the standard contact S. These parts...
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...
