Miyazaki's torsion conjecture for cables

About 4 years old · traced to

Let KK be a knot, let pp and qq be relatively prime integers with ∣p∣>1|p|>1, and let Kp,qK_{p,q} denote the (p,q)(p,q)-cable of KK. Let C\mathcal{C} denote the smooth knot concordance group. Miyazaki's torsion conjecture. The (p,q)(p,q)-cable of KK is torsion in C\mathcal{C} if and only if KK is slice and ∣q∣=1|q|=1. This strengthens the question of whether a (p,1)(p,1)- or (p,−1)(p,-1)-cable can be slice only when the companion knot is slice. The paper proves infinite-order and linear-independence results for many odd cables, but the stated equivalence is not resolved here.
