Gordon's order-two concordance conjecture
Gordon's order-two concordance conjecture
Let be a knot, and write for its connected sum with itself. A knot is negative amphichiral if it is isotopic to , where denotes reversal and denotes the mirror. Gordon's conjecture. If is slice, then is smoothly concordant to a negative amphichiral knot. This asks whether every element of order at most two in the smooth knot concordance group is represented, up to smooth concordance, by a negative amphichiral knot.
