Miyazaki's torsion conjecture for cables
Let be a knot, let and be relatively prime integers with , and let denote the -cable of . Let denote the smooth knot concordance group. Miyazaki's torsion conjecture. The -cable of is torsion in if and only if is slice and . This strengthens the question of whether a - or -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.
