Cancellation conjecture for doubly slice knots
Cancellation conjecture for doubly slice knots
Knots are considered up to connected sum, and a knot is doubly slice if it is the cross-section of an unknotted -sphere in .
Cancellation conjecture. If knots and are doubly slice, then is doubly slice.
This conjecture asks whether doubly sliceness admits cancellation under connected sum. It is presented as unanswered and concerns the structure of the double concordance group.
