Finite-type concordance invariant from the framed Arf trees
Finite-type concordance invariant from the framed Arf trees
Consider the sum of the trees depicted in Figure 8 of the source, associated to 2-component string links, with coefficients in . Framed Arf finite-type conjecture. This sum represents a non-trivial finite type concordance invariant of 2-component string links, with first non-vanishing term over . If true, the invariant has finite type degree ; finite type concordance invariants of string links through degree are known, while this degree-six case lies at the frontier of the subject.
