The concordance-invariance conjecture for modulo-4 reduced knot-homology ranks
The concordance-invariance conjecture for modulo-4 reduced knot-homology ranks
Let be a knot, let be either or , and let denote the knot concordance group. Concordance-invariance conjecture. The quantities
and
are concordance invariants; equivalently, they define homomorphisms from to by sending to the corresponding residue class.
The paper states that this conjecture is equivalent to the modulo- ribbon-knot rank conjecture. It would provide smooth sliceness obstructions and potentially detect elements of order in the concordance group; the general assertion remains open.
