Existence of knots distinguished by higher-order bordism invariants
Existence of knots distinguished by higher-order bordism invariants
Let be a knot, let be its group, let be the result of --framed surgery on , and let . For each , let denote the th-order Alexander module of , and let be its th reduced bordism invariant, represented by
Existence conjecture. For each there exist knots and such that for , but
This would show that the higher-order bordism invariants contain information not detected by the lower-order Alexander modules. The supplied text does not state whether this existence claim has been proved or disproved.
